Domaine Horgelus - La Valse des Mansengs 2017
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“Winning the ‘Coup de Coeur’ award two years in a row is no small feat. Horgelus has achieved this with his *Valse des Mansengs*, which features a touch of Sauvignon—just enough to give his Gascon wines that hint of authority that gives structure to great white wines. A luminous golden hue and an intense nose of citrus (pink grapefruit) and ripe fruit (apricot, pineapple, mango), subtly accented by hints of boxwood, create a most inviting first impression. On the palate, it displays impeccable balance, offering both vigor and elegance, smoothness and freshness. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) A wine that’s pure pleasure!

About the wine:
Winning the “Favorite” award two years in a row is no small feat. Horgelus achieved this with this Valse des Mansengs, which features a touch of Sauvignon—just enough to give its Gascon wines that hint of authority that gives structure to great white wines. A luminous golden hue and an intense nose of citrus (pink grapefruit) and ripe fruit (apricot, pineapple, mango), subtly tinged with hints of boxwood, create a most inviting first impression. On the palate, it displays impeccable balance, offering both vigor and elegance, smoothness and freshness.
About the estate:
A certified oenologist, Yoann Le Menn took over in 2007, at the age of twenty-one, the estate founded by his grandfather between Ténarèze and Bas-Armagnac, which today covers 90 hectares. He produces Armagnac, alongside wines focused on the Côtes-de-Gascogne PGI. To preserve the berries’ aromatic freshness, he prefers to harvest at night.
