Domaine Cosse-Maisonneuve "Siderolithe" (100% cabernet franc) red 2018:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2022 (Sept. 2021): 93/100. From old vines of cabernet franc, a minerality emerges that reveals the perfect trilogy of great wines: a terroir, a grape, a winemaker. In this case, there are two taking care of the cuvées. A nose of fresh fruit liqueur, cherry, with a depth in the mouth that offers detail in a tannin molded in the siderolithic base.

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2021 (November 2020): 94/100. A high-flying cabernet franc signs a haute couture cuvée. Its frank and larded juice, with bold and easy fruit on violet and blueberry, delivers a structure worthy of a Pomerol from red clays.

A red wine that is both extremely silky and mineral, which will last at least 10 years. The ferrous soil gives it an impressive delicacy for a prestigious cabernet franc cuvée born under these latitudes!

Technical sheet inspired by the winemaker's oral comments:

Siderolithe is a new micro-cuvée from a parcel born in 2017. The parcel is located on siderolithic clays, with high iron content, which gives an unparalleled smoothness to cabernet franc. Siderolithe is the sister of the other cuvée from the cabernet franc grape, Carmenet, born in 2016 and from the characteristic limestone terroir of Cahors.

Grape Variety: 100% Cabernet franc maintained in biodynamics
Soil: Siderolithic red clay (very rich in iron), the magical source of the wine's smoothness.
Aging: 20 months in barrels of 2 wines.
