La Marguerite

L'élevage

The wine is aged in barrels for 18 months, with the proportion of new wood being exactly the same whatever the vintage.

Les cépages

Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve's La Marguerite cuvée is a micro-parcel of vines planted with a hundred-year-old selection massale found in Touraine. The vines are located on a terroir composed of iron-rich clay, which gives the wine precision and minerality. The first vintage of this cuvée was released in 2011.

BOARD

Service

Serve this wine at 17°C. Decant 2 hours before serving.

Dégustation

La Marguerite is a work of art. A 100% Malbec Cahors that reveals depth, complexity and, above all, incredible elegance, which is very rare in this region where the tendency is towards rusticity. This is a great wine for laying down that should not be opened for 2-3 years.

Au nez

The nose reveals notes of liquorice, blackcurrant and blueberry with great finesse. The nose already opens up very well when young, but it is clear that this wine can offer a much broader and more complex range of aromas.

En bouche

The palate is tender and greedy, the tannins still a little dry but very ripe. The fruit is juicy and develops notes of blackberry, black cherry and fig jam. A wine that is already very open in its youth, but which is far from showing its full potential.
