Tasting Notes

The depth of this wine testifies to the generosity of Gascony by offering you the aromas of spice mingled blackcurrant and liquorice.

The taste offers soft, well matured tannins revealing the ideal balance between the strength of the Tannat grape and the elegance of the Cabernet-Sauvignon grape. Drink immediately or lay down, the pleasure will always be as intense.

Domaine Horgelus


Situated on the sunny hillsides of Gascony, this region, renowned for centuries thanks to its Armagnac, now reveals itself as a promising French Appellation due to the increasing quality of its local wines.

The Domaine Horgelus was created in 1978 by Joseph Le Menn. Breton by origin, he was attracted by the charm of the South West, its gastronomy and its art of living. This 90 hectare Domaine is now operated by Yoan Le Menn, his son. Yoan is from the young generation of oenologues who knows perfectly how to combine modernity and experience. Known for their 3am harvesting, Domaine Horgelus takes advantage of the cooler climates to maximise taste.
