The “Mas del Périé” vineyard
In 2006, Fabien Jouves decided to continue his family’s legacy by taking over the “Mas del Périé” vineyard. However, he is anything but a traditionalist. He has brought the 20 hectares of vineyard to new heights and international recognition by introducing a refreshingly young, contemporary, unconventional and dynamic style to both the work in the vineyards and the cellar. The passionate young man cultivates his land organically (certifired by Ecocert) and biodynamically (certified by Demeter and Biodyvin).
The Malbec is the king of the grapes in the Cahors. By dedicating several hectares of his land to it he honors his region’s tradition. But almighty the Malbec is, as passionate and ever-curious “artisan-vigneron” you want more. So, of course there are also other grape varieties to be found in the “Mas del Périé” estate such as Merlot, Tannat, Petit/ Gros Manseng, Ugni Blanc Muscat d’Alexandrie, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Chardonnay, Semillon Blanc, Chenin and Colombard. All of them are hand-harvested and turned into exquisite natural wines on the estate, ranging from traditional to unconventional.
