Cahors Mas Del Périé La Roque Fabien Jouves 2022

The wine

The cuvée Mas Del Périé La Roque is rich and full-bodied, perfect for drinking now. It has some of the character of Cahors and Malbec, however Fabien Jouves has added his own personal touch. Raised in concrete vats and barrels for 6 months, this cuvée goes perfectly with rich meats such as magret de canard or lamb cutlets.

About the Producer Mas Del Périé

In 2006, Fabien Jouves took over the running of this family vineyard, located on the hillsides of Trespoux, the highest point of the appellation. He is one of Cahors' many newcomers, whose ambition is to exalt the noble variety Malbec with biodynamic practices (Biodyvin/Demeter certified). He follows the Burgundy model, both in terms of the parcel selections, long fermentations on lees, and even the shape of the bottles! Part of a new generation of winemakers in Cahors, Fabien Jouves proudly wear the colours of his appellation, and is constantly innovating his methods. His reds have a great deal of substance and are perfectly balanced, and he also produces many Vin de France cuvées. Chenin-based whites, orange wines, cuvées of pure Tannat, amphora cuvées and much more. A truly accomplished, iconoclastic range.
