Domaine
Cosse-Maisonneuve
Passionate independent winemakers, we harvest, vinify, age, and market our wines ourselves.
OUR APPROACH
The Terroir
The steep, south-facing slopes provide an ideal environment for the Malbec vines to flourish and express their rich aromas.
The Vine
A great wine is made in the vineyard, and biodynamic viticulture and hand-picking are one of the keys.
Wine-making
Cold maceration for particularly deep, distinctive wines...
A Team
A team of enthusiasts committed to the quality of our wines.
THE GREAT WINES OF CAHORS
SINCE 1999
Les Laquets
A Cahors of character, Les Laquets is long and racy, with a persistent finish (cedar and black fruit), perfectly balanced by fine, precise ageing. A perfect representation of the Cosse-Maisonneuve style.
La Fage
Supple on the palate, lovely freshness, light tannins, La Fage is a gourmet Cahors, friendly and joyful.
La Marguerite
La Marguerite is the estate's prestige cuvée, from a 2.5 hectare parcel on the famous siderolithic terroir (clay-limestone mixed with reddish ferruginous deposits). A wine of great potential, where minerality vies with intensity.
Sidérolithe
Sidérolithe is a plot-based micro-cuvée created in 2017. The parcel is located on
siderolithic clay, with a high iron content, which gives the Cabernet
franc. Its raspberry and violet aromas and velvety texture are immediately reminiscent of Pomerol.
Carmenet
A 100% Cabernet Franc cuvée from the estate, created in 2016. A true Cabernet Franc with superb freshness, in the purest style of the estate.
OUR STORY
In 1999, Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve was created to produce great Cahors wines.A few years later, we expanded the estate, which now covers 17 hectares, mainly planted with Malbec grapes, but also Merlot, Gamay and Cabernet Franc.
Biodynamic viticulture is part of the estate's philosophy, enabling us to produce grapes that perfectly reflect the identity of the Cahors terroir. Strict principles and a viticulture that respects nature: manual harvesting, small yields, precise and fair vinification.
1999 Creation du Domaine
The story of Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve began when two people with a passion for wine met. Matthieu Cosse and Catherine Maisonneuve joined forces to create an estate that reflected their shared vision: to bring out the best in Malbec.
