Cosse Maisonneuve Solis Cahors Malbec 2018 (750ml) Rasteau making this Viognier perfect asWinemaker Notes 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.
