Domaine COSSE MAISONNEUVE
"Sidérolithe"
- 2018
- Vin de France rouge
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.
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.

Supple on the palate, beautiful freshness, tannins not very marked, La Fage is a Cahors that is greedy, pleasant and joyful.
Rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « C'est le malbec bien élevé qui donne le "la" à une chair précise, d'une perfection formelle. Avec sa pointe de cuir et son fruit glorieux, il est d'une séduction classique. » (Feb. 2021)

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!
