This pleasantly balanced blend of Malbec, Tannat, and Cabernet Franc benefits from a clay-limestone terroir. Made from 25-year-old vines, the blend is crafted through natural winemaking, with hand-harvested grapes followed by fermentation and aging in concrete tanks. This approach preserves the wine’s purity and authenticity. The AB label guarantees compliance with organic practices.

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.
