Mas del Périé - Fabien Jouves
Orange Veiled 2023
Vin de France | Orange | 2023
This magnificent wine, made from 100% Chenin Blanc, is the result of meticulous winemaking. The ten-year-old vines, cultivated biodynamically on a single hectare of Kimmeridgian limestone soil, benefit from ideal exposure at the top of the slopes. The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and then macerated on the skins in 200-liter amphorae for one year, before undergoing a similar aging process. Production is limited to just 1,000 bottles, highlighting the artisanal attention given to each step.

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.
