Jancis Robinson's Wine of the Week

'Dom de l’Horizon, L’Esprit de l’Horizon Blanc 2018 IGP Côtes Catalanes is a really exciting white, but Dom de l’Horizon Rosé 2018 IGP Côtes Catalanes is truly exceptional.'

Dom de l’Horizon Rosé 2018 IGP Côtes Catalanes

'Very pale salmon colour – just a little bit deeper than a Provence pink. Really rather burgundian on the nose! Such savour and perfume with a certain sweetness. Really very gorgeous with a lovely satin texture. The acidity is so pronounced and the texture so fine that I'm lapping it up at room temperature though I'm looking forward to enjoying it chilled with sole and tomates confites. So refined! And long. Pretty, with wonderfully pure fruit. Really expands in the mouth. The price seems perfectly reasonable.' 17.5/20

Dom de l’Horizon, L’Esprit de l’Horizon Blanc 2018

'Intense, decongestant (aromatic herbs) perfume. Excellent, tense acidity. Much livelier than most Roussillon whites and no obvious sign of the Muscat. Sleek, bone dry with a bit of citrus peel and masses of natural (limestone-inspired) acidity. I wonder whether it might last even longer than the suggested five years?' 16.5/20
