Cosse et Maisonneuve Cahors 'Solis'

Created in 1999, Domaine Cosse et Maisonneuve is the result of the combination of two talented oenologists and winemakers: Matthieu Cosse and Catherine Maisonneuve. They took over a 5 hectare estate in Prayssac, a short distance from Cahors, planted with old vines of Malbec and set out to make wines that are the antithesis of the rustic image of Cahors. They are certified organic by Ecocert although they farm their vineyards biodynamically and plan to become certified by Demeter. 

Cosse et Maissoneuve wines are not the norm for Cahors. The wines are full of fruit, but they are uncommonly elegant and round for Cahors, not at all the old school rustic style that people often associate with the typical style of Malbecs from the area. Through precise and accurate winemaking, Cosse et Maisonneuve yield elegant, smooth and aerial wines that truly express the terroir and that have an incredible ageing potential.
