Cahors Mas Del Périé Bloc B763 Fabien Jouves 2015

The wine

Previously called La Pièce, this intriguing and complex cuvée of pure Malbec is a natural, living wine. This wine, produced from the best parcels – which are farmed biodynamically – is the expression par excellence of Fabien Jouves’ estate, with manual harvests, natural vinification, fermentation and élevage in egg-shaped, concrete vats. Made for cellaring, and an exemplar of structure and elegance, critics are raving about this wine.

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.
