Description
Xavier Roger has a knack for finding the best parcels across the Languedoc-Roussillon and this 2025 Hornhead Malbec is a fantastic example of his craft. While we often look to Argentina or Cahors for this grape, this French expression is wonderfully approachable and full of character.
On the nose, it is packed with dark forest fruits like blackberries and blackcurrants, with just a hint of cracked black pepper. The palate is rich and smooth, showing off that classic Malbec weight but with a supple texture that makes it very easy to enjoy. It is an honest and well-made red that punches well above its weight, making it a brilliant choice for a weekend roast or a quiet night in.
