Cosse et Maisonneuve, 2018 Solis Malbec

Cosse et maisonneuve have been certified biodynamic by Demeter since 2013. Bright notes of blueberry and violet, anise and tobacco. Structured but with silky tannins, and refreshing herbal finish typical of high quality Malbec.

Created in 1999, Domaine Cosse et Maisonneuve is the combination of two talented oenologists and winemakers: Matthieu Cosse and Catherine Maisonneuve. They took over a 5 hectare estate in Prayssac, planted with old vines of Malbec and set out to make wines that are the antithesis of the rustic image of Cahors. They create separate cuvées to reflect the identity of the different terroirs of the estate. which now totals 17 hectares of vines planted predominantly with Malbec as well as a small amount of Merlot situated in the optimal locations to produce the best Cahors – predominantly on the gravel and clay third terrace above the Lot river.
