Benjamin Taillandier and Fabien Jouves collaborated on this big, bright, one liter 50/50 blend, comprised of the former’s ‘Laguzelle’ and the latter’s’You F&@k My Wine?!’ Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, Jurançon Noir, and Malbec are all farmed organically, harvested by hand, fermented spontaneously and aged for six months in a mix of stainless steel, cement tanks, and old barrels. 

Fabien Jouves

Fabien Jouves is from an old farming family in Causse and became a winemaker in 2006 when he created his first cuvée, “Mas del Périé”, on the highest slopes of Cahors.

Jouves’ estate, 21 hectares in the junction of Quercy and Cahors, was selected to highlight the many expression of Côt. Reinforcing this is Fabien’s commitment to biodynamic viticulture that respects “life, plant, man, and the environment.” Following biodynamic agriculture adds strength to his terroir by supporting the whole environment from the vines to the animals.

The vinification is completely natural without any oenological inputs. His wines are then aged in concrete vats, barrels, or casks, according to its characteristics and personality.
