Blaye Rouge Cotes de Bordeaux Mattieu Cosse 2020

Blaye Rouge Cotes de Bordeaux Mattieu Cosse 2020, biodynamic conversion, classic blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, maturation in concrete.  The Blaye Rouge from Mattieu Cosse’ new Bordeaux project is just as delicious, soft and supple as the white.  The tannins are fine and the wine bursts with Red plum and black cherries scents and flavours.  Maturation is in concrete as opposed to oak barrels to maintain the primacy of fruit and freshness, delicious red, medium bodied, pretty much go with anything.

Created in 1999, the Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve is the result of the association of two talented oenologists and winemakers: Matthieu Cosse and Catherine Maisonneuve.

Both took over a 5 hectares estate in Prayssac near Cahors which was planted with old vines of Malbec (also known under the name of 'Cot') and started making wines, well determined to produce genuine wines. They work biodynamically and the wines have a genuine sense of place and style that is lost in so many of the wines from the region.

Matthieu Cosse's new project is in the Cotes de Blaye region of Bordeaux.  The wines are made in collaboration with an old friend of his, Jérôme Ossard, who has been working in Bordeaux for over 24 years with winegrowers who want to really make the most of their best plots of vines. These particular cuvées come from plot selections of vines with a very high potential thanks to the quality of the terroir, resulting in exceptional grapes that in turn, produce high quality yet affordable natural Bordeaux wine.
