Cosse Maisonneuve
Cosse Maisonneuve produces Malbec from Cahors, the South West France appellation where the grape finds its deepest expression. The region's limestone plateau and river-influenced climate shape wines of structure and dark fruit intensity. Les Laquets, Le Sid, and La Fage represent the winery's core range—each a pure Malbec that reflects Cahors' terroir. Wine Spectator and Decanter have rated these wines, affirming their quality across the lineup. Malbec from Cahors carries weight and tannin architecture that rewards patience; these bottlings show the variety's capacity for complexity beyond its better-known Argentine expressions. The winery's focus remains singular: Malbec, the traditional heart of the region, vinified to express both fruit and the mineral character of its origin.
