Fabien Jouves
Fabien JOUVES comes from an old peasant family from Causse. He became a winemaker in 2006 by creating the Mas del Périé on the highest slopes of Cahors. Malbec (Cot) is the king grape variety. Due to the location of the estate at the junction of the terroirs of the Quercy hillsides and those of Cahors, the plot selection was obvious to express the different facets of Malbec. This expression of the terroir is reinforced by a bio-dynamic agriculture respectful of life, the plant, man and his environment. The vinification of the grapes in the cellar is done naturally, without oenological inputs, and the accompaniment of the wine until its maturity, in concrete vats, barrels and tuns according to its personality.
