A Visionary and Bold Winemaker
Fabien Jouves represents a new generation of winemakers reshaping the image of Cahors. Coming from a family of Causse farmers, he took over the family estate in 2006, situated on the appellation’s highest slopes. From the start, he adopted a modern, terroir-driven approach, emphasizing natural vinification and biodynamic farming. His estate, Mas del Périé, quickly became a benchmark for wine lovers seeking vibrant, expressive wines.
A High-Altitude Terroir Enhanced by Biodynamics
The estate spans 23 hectares at over 350 meters in altitude, rooted in the limestone soils of the Causse. This exceptional location imparts remarkable freshness and tension to the wines. Fully committed to biodynamics since 2011, Fabien Jouves eliminates chemical inputs and fosters natural vineyard cycles. This philosophy allows him to craft wines that are lively, authentic, and deeply connected to their terroir.
Natural Vinification for Emotion-Driven Wines
In the cellar, Fabien Jouves follows a minimalist approach: manual harvesting, indigenous yeast fermentation, gentle extractions, and aging in concrete tanks, large casks, or amphorae, depending on the wine’s profile. No additives, no unnecessary interventions—just the pure expression of Malbec and other grape varieties he vinifies with precision. This approach results in wines that stand out for their drinkability, aromatic brilliance, and silky texture.
Flagship Cuvées Blending Tradition and Experimentation
Estate Fabien Jouves explores Malbec in all its forms. "Haute Côt(e) de Fruit" is fresh and juicy, an ideal introduction to the grape. "Les Escures" offers more depth, with a firm tannic backbone and spicy finish. "La Roque" impresses with its complexity and minerality. At the same time, he breaks conventions with wines like "You Fuck My Wine," a statement against appellation restrictions, or his macerated whites and rosés, showcasing his innovative spirit.
International Recognition for a New Generation of Cahors
Through his precise work and bold vision, Estate Fabien Jouves has emerged as one of the leading figures in Cahors’ wine renaissance. His wines, now distributed worldwide, attract both Malbec connoisseurs and natural wine enthusiasts. Tasting a bottle from Estate Fabien Jouves means discovering a Cahors that is vibrant, contemporary, and deeply rooted in its terroir.
