Capsule from Fabien Jouves is a cool sparkling. We were blown away by the rich and aromatic flavours. Lots of stuff in there like stone fruits, dried fruits,mandarine zest and some herbs. It has light oxidative notes, a lovely bread-y finish and a delicate aroma of apricot yogurt in the nose.

Fabien Jouves
Wine-making at its finest
Fabien Jouves founded his winery ‘Mas del Périé’ in 2006 and he has been farming biodynamically since 2011. The vineyards stretch from the high slopes of Cahors to the hills of Quercy bringing out different characteristics to his wines. The star of the winery is the grape variety Malbec, the selection of Jouve’s Malbecs is in-fact very wide! Every Malbec is different depending on the soil or the altitude or the vinification. Try them all from his elegant line: ‘Vins de Terroir’, presented with the chic white labels . If you feel like something funny and super drinkable try the other line of wines: ‘Vins de Soif’, you’ll recognise them by the joyful labels.
