A big friendly red and white field blend of Grenache Blanc, Gris, & Rouge, Malbec, Counoise, Cinsault, Clairette and Muscat de Hamburg all from biodynamic vineyards in the rugged hills of Cahors. The grapes were all pressed whole cluster and wild fermented in concrete tanks where it ages on the lees for 6 months before getting bottled unfiltered with just a little sulfur. Aromatic, juicy and fun. Definitely serve this one with a nice chill on it.

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.
