Domaine COSSE MAISONNEUVE
La Fage

A new generation of winegrowers is waking Cahors up. Rustic wines with coarse tannins are a thing of the past. Make way for digestible, tasty, fruity and velvety malbecs. The duo Matthieu Cosse (the oenologist) / Catherine Maisonneuve (the winegrower) is part of this new Cadurian elite, with a magnificent range of wines where purity, precision and elegance prevail. "Transcending the boundaries of its appellation, the estate is one of the best in France" for Mr. Bettane. 

Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Supple on the palate, beautiful freshness, tannins not very marked, La Fage is a Cahors that is greedy, pleasant and joyful.

Cahors de caractère, Les Laquets is long and racy, with a persistent finish (cedar and black fruits), perfectly balanced by a fine and precise maturing. Perfect representation of the Cossse/ Maisonneuve style.

La Marguerite is the prestigious cuvée of the Domaine, coming from a 2.5 hectare plot on the famous siderolithic terroir (clay-limestone mixed with reddish iron deposits). A wine of great potential where minerality vies with intensity. Splendid!

Sidérolithe is the 100% cabernet franc counterpart (on iron clay) of their other cuvée Marguerite which is 100% malbec. Its aromas of raspberry and violet and its velvety texture are immediately reminiscent of Pomerol.

After 23 years of reflection and trials in search of the best match between grape variety and terroir, 2020 is the first vintage of their new Une de Mai cuvée, combining old Malbec on acidic soil (Eocene bedrock), old Malbec on clay-gravel soil (3rd terrace) and old Cabernet Franc on pure limestone (Kimmeridgian plateau). A unique wine, like a cross between Pomerol (freshness and taffeta-like texture) and Châteauneuf du Pape (amplitude and aromatic complexity). A great French wine is born!
