South-West

Powerful & Complex

Lionel Osmin & Co was created by Lionel Osmin who wanted to champion the re-discovery of the unique wines and vineyards of this region. From Jurançon to Cahors, from Gaillac to Bergerac, passing through Marcillac, Lionel Osmin & Co has become the sole transversal signature of the wines from the South West and their vineyards whose secrets have not all yet been uncovered. They are proud to share a range of wines whose characteristics are faithful to their region and which are made for those who wish to share in the joy of discovering the vines and wines of the Southwest.

The terraces of the Cahors AOP nestle among the meandering Lot River - these are the age-old lands of the Malbec grape. This wine has a deep dark crimson colour (almost black) with hints of violet. Its aromas are powerful and complex, rich with black fruits (blackberry, black currant, black cherry) and spices (liquorice, cinnamon and cocoa). A wine that offers pleasure for the palate with its silky tannins.

This full, rich red wine can be combined with many French cuisine dishes, including: pan-fried mushrooms, meat fondues, truffled fattened hen, confited duck, coq au vin, grilled beef rib steak, tournedos, matured cheeses or Camembert, etc.

Rich & Sweet

Jurançon is a very small wine region located in the Pyrenees, famous for its sweet wines made with late harvested grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested later in the season when the sugar levels are really high and the water content is very low. The delicate honey and herb-tinged nose is enticing, with a sweet edge. It has a lovely rich texture with notes of straw and herb on the palate and good balance with a honeyed sweetness.

This is the wine you want to open at the very beginning or at the very end of a dinner. It matches beautifully with all kinds of cheeses, specially goat and blue cheeses; as well as with foie-grass. It is also terrific as a dessert wine.
