The Character

Overall Deep and complex
Tasting Notes The nose offers intense black cherry with pungent mineral depth and ultra-high-toned but savory herbal accents. It feels young but tastes great, and, as we learned from a little vertical stretching back to 2008, this wine will blossom into something pure and inviting.
Sustainability Certified Biodynamic, Natural Fermentation

The Story

Domaine de l'Horizon Rouge comes from a blend of Carignan and Grenache Noir. The grapes are taken from the Domaine's oldest vines, over 100 years old. These vines are managed in accordance with ancestral methods. They offer precious and beautiful bunches every year for yields ranging from 5 to 10hL/ha.

About Dom De L'Horizon

Producer Story

Thomas Teibert founded the Domaine de L’Horizon in the Roussillon village of Calce in 2006, after meeting native star Gerard Gauby a year prior. A tiny village of around 200 inhabitants, Calce lies at the foot of the mighty Pyrenees, 10 miles northwest of Perpignan, within striking distance of the Spanish border. Though technically part of the Languedoc-Roussillon, Calce is not French—it is Catalan. The wines from around this village have about as much in common with the vast sun-soaked enormity of the south of France as, say, Chablis does to the Rhone Valley. And, although Calce has been renowned as a viticultural area since the Knights Templar wrote admiringly about it in the 9th century, wines from this remote corner of southern France are still relatively unknown and underappreciated.
