Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve

Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve is a renowned winery located in the heart of the Cahors region in southwestern France. Founded in 1999 by husband and wife team, Pascal and Dominique Cosse, the winery has become known for its high-quality and unique wines that showcase the terroir of Cahors.

Cahors is a historic wine region that has been producing wines since Roman times. It is known for its rich and robust red wines made from the Malbec grape, also known locally as "Cot." The region's unique microclimate, with its hot summers and cool nights, combined with the iron-rich soils, give the wines of Cahors a distinct character and complexity.

The appellation of Cahors is situated along the Lot River, and Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve is located in the village of Prayssac, which is known for its clay and limestone soils. The winery practices organic and biodynamic farming methods, which aim to preserve the health of the soil and promote biodiversity. This dedication to sustainable practices is reflected in the quality of the wines produced.

Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve produces a range of red wines, including their flagship wine, "La Fage," made from 100% Malbec. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a gentle maceration process to extract the maximum flavor and tannins. The result is a complex and structured wine with notes of dark fruits, spice, and a touch of minerality.

In addition to their flagship wine, the winery also produces a range of other red blends, including "Le Combal," a blend of Malbec, Merlot, and Tannat, and "La Fadarelle," a blend of Malbec and Merlot. These wines offer a different expression of the terroir of Cahors and are a testament to the winery's skill and expertise.
