History

Fabien JOUVES comes from an old peasant family in Causse.

Today, Fabien Jouves is a winegrower who knows exactly his terroir and the whispers of his vineyard.mAlways listening to his plot's cuvees, he has became one of the best references of the Cahors appellation.

Terroir

Malbec (Côt) is the king grape variety. Due to the location of the estate at the junction of the Quercy’s terroirs hillsides and those of Cahors, the plot selection was obvious to express the different facets of Malbec. Fabien JOUVES has been practicing Biodynamics at Mas del Périé since 2011 (Demeter, Biodyvin). It allowed him to produce more unique wines, reflections of their original terroirs and the emotions of the winemaker over the course of a year.

Savoir-Faire

The vinification of the grapes in the cellar is done naturally without any oenological input, and the process of the wine until its maturity, in concrete vats, barrels and casks according to its personality.
Fabien believes in minimal intervention and allowing the grape's true expression to shine through. He also works with indigenous yeast for fermentation to further capture the vineyard's terroir.
