An expressive, fruity wine from south-west France, offering freshness and liveliness, with authentic aromas of red fruit and spices, thanks to an approach that respects the terroir.
More infoSoif d’ailleurs comes from south-west France, a wine-growing region with an extraordinary history and terroir, characterised by Atlantic and Mediterranean influences. The wine is made from Cinsault vines of around thirty years old on average, growing on a terroir featuring a sandy and chalky subsoil. In terms of winemaking, the grapes are harvested by hand and then vinified in whole bunches. The fruit undergoes short skin contact, lasting around a week. Finally, the wine is matured in vats for six months before being bottled without fining or filtration. The wine has a brilliant red colour. The nose is marked by aromas of fresh red fruit, like cherry and strawberry, accompanied by subtle floral and spicy notes. On the palate, this wine is lively and slightly tannic, with superb freshness and a fruity finish.
About the Producer Mas Del Périé

He is one of Cahors' many newcomers, whose ambition is to exalt the noble variety Malbec with biodynamic practices (Biodyvin/Demeter certified).

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.
