Mas del PÉRIÉ - Fabien Jouves

The new generation of Cahors

Fabien Jouves ' approach to his Mas del Périé - in Trespoux, near Cahors - is more than sound, the vines are beautiful, the landscape is magnificent. We still wonder how others manage to make, let's say, not very good. It is a desolation for Fabien who would so much like the Cahors appellation to regain its golden coat of arms. Our only son, after a few years of oenological studies, returned to the family Wineryin 2006. To do well, to do better, to progress, to understand. He fell in love with Eric Pfifferling's wines (Wineryl'Anglore) and his Tavel in particular, and has since discovered the family of natural wines.

A Wineryand natural wines

His work at Wineryhas been evolving over the last few years in this direction and luckily it is not too complicated either to take over the vines - never chemically treated by the old ones - or in the management of the vineyard work with already a Bio-dynamic certification... His wines are all without added sulphite!

A magnificent terroir

With the help of the father watching his son, his eyes sparkling with pride! TheMas del Périé Winery is spread across several plots just outside the village, never far away. These plots are also divided by terroirs—soils with different compositions, sometimes red clay, sometimes limestone, and sometimes stony areas. The wines are named after the various localities: Escures, Les Acacias, … and La Pièce, which features very old vines— Fabien Jouves’ favorites. It must be said that, as you walk through them, these vines are truly impressive!
