Cosse et Maisonneuve
Cahors, yes, but in a refined, vertical expression, where Malbec never aims for excessive richness. Catherine Maisonneuve and Mathieu Cosse have instilled a new approach: less extraction, more dynamism, and meticulously controlled aging processes. The wines exhibit a tight grain and a linearity that characterize great modern Cahors. In short: remarkable purity.
