The wine
Unsurprisingly, this single varietal Malbec owes its name to its vinification and élevage in amphorae, with no sulphites added. This natural, living, terroir-driven wine is intensely fruity and impeccably clean. Made for cellaring, it will gain in density and complexity, lifting dishes of red meat and stews.
About the Producer Mas Del Périé
In 2006, Fabien Jouves took over the running of this family vineyard, located on the hillsides of Trespoux, the highest point of the appellation. He is one of Cahors' many newcomers, whose ambition is to exalt the noble variety Malbec with biodynamic practices (Biodyvin/Demeter certified). He follows the Burgundy model, both in terms of the parcel selections, long fermentations on lees, and even the shape of the bottles! Part of a new generation of winemakers in Cahors, Fabien Jouves proudly wear the colours of his appellation, and is constantly innovating his methods. His reds have a great deal of substance and are perfectly balanced, and he also produces many Vin de France cuvées. Chenin-based whites, orange wines, cuvées of pure Tannat, amphora cuvées and much more. A truly accomplished, iconoclastic range.
