Mas del Périé - Fabien Jouves
Cahors Haute Côte de Fruit
Cahors | Red | 2024
Grown biodynamically on limestone and clay soils at an altitude of 350 meters, this Malbec comes from 25-year-old vines. Hand-harvested, destemmed, and macerated for seven days in concrete vats, it is aged for six months in the same vats. Bottled without filtration or fining – with a micro-dose of sulfur added at bottling. The style is fruity, supple, and easy to drink, with a pure expression of the terroir.

Mas del Périé - Fabien Jouves
In Cahors, Fabien Jouves manages Mas del Périé with a precise, plot-by-plot approach to Malbec. The different cuvées are based on the geology of the plateau and hillsides, contrasting limestone soils, which bring verticality and tension, with deeper clays, sources of flesh and density.
Biodynamics structures all the work, from soil management to winemaking. Aging uses a variety of containers—amphorae, foudres, and barrels—employed as tools for adjustment, in order to refine the profiles without masking the expression of the grape or the terroir.
The wines maintain a clear definition, with precise black fruit and structures that are never heavy. The finishes remain legible and balanced, reflecting an approach where each cuvée offers a distinct and coherent interpretation of the different facets of the Cahors plateau.
