Cahors Le Combal Cosse-Maisonneuve (Domaine) 2020
The wine
This cuvée is raised for 14 months in barrels already used for one to two wines. On the nose, Combal has aromas of black fruits and aniseed, while on the palate it’s generous and full-bodied, with a good structure, and the rich edge which is a typical feature of this appellation. The finish is impressively long.
About the Producer Cosse-Maisonneuve
Matthieu Cosse – who also manages the well-known château La Coste in Provence – has been running the Cosse-Maisonneuve domaine with Catherine Maisonneuve since 1999. The 28-hectare vineyard is cultivated biodynamically (with Demeter certification). The vines are mostly made up of Malbec, with some Merlot and Tannat. In the winery, work is done with the same philosophy as in the vineyard: vinifications are as natural as possible (with indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtration, and long, well-controlled élevage). This domain, whose wines impress with their personality and fruitiness, is now a member of the Cahors appellation elite.
