This wine is a blend of Malbec and Merlot, from 20-year-old vines grown on clay-limestone soils. The grapes are harvested by hand, demonstrating meticulous care. Vinification is natural, with fermentation in concrete tanks and barrels, beginning with a short maceration of 7 days. The wine is then aged for 6 months in the same containers, ensuring a pure and authentic expression of the fruit.

Mas del Périé
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.
