We're telling you about their Winery
Mathieu Cosse and Catherine Maisonneuve in Cahors: these are silky and airy wines, precise and digestible! No "100% new wood" either and only barrels of several wines help the slow maturation without marking the wine. Only Les Laquets, the top-of-the-range cuvée, will "undergo" up to 22 months of new oak and one wine. On the strength of his experience at the Cocumont cooperative cellar, in the heart of the South-West wine region, Mathieu Cosse set up his own business with Catherine Maisonneuve, straight out of the famous Château Léoville Las Casès and together they produced their first vintage in 1999. Young winegrowers, then! From the 5 hectares they started out renting, they now own 17 hectares in Prayssac, not far from Cahors, on the banks of the Lot. Very quickly, they decided to work in biodynamic farming, with the result that they produce small yields and very surprising wines, far from the idea of the Cahors appellation. The vines are spread over 2 well identified terroirs and for which each parcel is vinified separately. | A first terroir on clay and limestone is located in Cournou ("the plateau") and gives structured wines made for laying down. The 2nd, in Prayssac, in the valley, corresponds to more fleshy, supple and fruity wines ("the terraces"). The soils are worked and the vines treated in a homeopathic way. The ripe grapes are picked by hand and, at the sorting table, Mathieu and Catherine keep a close eye on the quality of the harvest which will be destemmed. "No need to look for extra tannins on a Grape variety such as Malbec," says Catherine. The weather conditions and low yields bring a natural balance (thick skin and little juice). The vinification starts with indigenous yeasts. Vatting time is long, pumping over is prohibited and filtration is non-existent. |
