The meticulous vinification of this wine involves direct pressing, combining destemming and whole cluster fermentation. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, barriques, and foudres allows the full aromatic complexity of its grape varieties, notably Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, to be revealed. Aged for six months, this wine achieves a harmony of freshness and roundness, further enhanced by its origin from clay-limestone hillsides and its commitment to no added sulfites.

Mas del Périé
In Cahors, Fabien Jouves manages Mas del Périé, employing a precise plot-by-plot approach to Malbec cultivation. The various cuvées are crafted based on the geology of the plateau and hillsides, contrasting calcareous soils, which impart verticality and tension, with deeper clay soils, which contribute body and density.
Biodynamic practices underpin the entire process, from soil management to vinification. The aging process utilizes various vessels—amphorae, foudres, and barriques—employed as fine-tuning tools to refine the profiles without obscuring the expression of the grape or the terroir.
The wines maintain a clear definition, featuring precise dark fruit and structures that are never heavy. The finishes remain discernible and balanced, reflecting an approach where each cuvée offers a distinct and coherent interpretation of the various facets of the Cahors plateau.
