An intense nose featuring stewed black fruits, blackberries, and a hint of subtle spices... The palate is bursting with ripe fruit yet remains fresh, supple, and easy to drink, with a lovely velvety texture. A long finish. Yet another successful expression of the Cahors appellation!
Fabien Jouves
Fabien Jouves represents the golden generation of Cahors. This young and dynamic vigneron settled in 2006 on the highest slopes of Cahors, where he took over his family’s estate of 20 hectares. Fabien, with his Prince Harry-like air about him, is the pretender to the throne in the Realm of Malbec, not to forget the winning-award for his mullet! His estate is certified organic by Ecocert and biodynamic by Demeter. His vinifications are natural, and his wines are from now on, most of the time without sulfur. Fabien earned himself a sterling reputation for his single-vineyard Cahors cuvées, which highlight his sensitivity and respect for each climat and terroir, but he has also become loved for his easy-drinking, thirst-quenching cuvées with such whimsical names as "You Fuck My Wine", "Tu Vin Plus Aux Soirées" etc... labels which have certainly helped generate buzz. But if some of his labels are laughable, his wines are very serious indeed.
To be shared between friends, an accessible, supple, fruity wine. A bit of spice and a lot of freshness on the palate. TVPAS: a go-to classic for thirsty oenophiles!
Probably the best compromise between fruit and structure, on notes of black fruits (blackberry and plum) warmed up by a hint of vanilla, cedar wood, cacao and long pepper. Palate: seriously rich and tannic, yet with great freshness on the finish!
A dark juice, with notes of raspberry and cherry... A palate of great freshness, with flavours of intense red fruits… yet another superb bottle to share among friends.

Beautiful aromatics, with notes of flowers and acacia honey... Palate: density, tension, minerality, and a lemony finish.
Orange zest, lemon, pear, with a hint of exotic fruits. The palate is bright yet incredibly smooth, an absolute thirst-quencher—hydration at its finest! Truly the nectar of the gods: this cuvée lives up to its name, so of course, it comes in a liter bottle!

Superb surprise! A South West Chenin which sheds new light on the grape variety, with notes of citrus fruits, peach, quince, honey, a hint of oxidative. Complex and long palate, ample, nice volume, fresh. Very beautiful juice.
An original, unexpected, and delicious cuvée that breaks all the terroir rules. Notes of quince, mandarin, honey, almond, with a subtle oxidative touch... The palate is perfectly balanced, with light, structuring tannins that don’t overwhelm the delicate aromatics. A true hidden gem!
“A vintage with vibrant fruit and light, chalky tannins. Pure pleasure!” says Mas del Périé... This beautifully crafted cuvée is a resounding success, with notes of blackberry and cherry; an easy-drinking wine with a smooth texture and lovely length.
Concentrated nose carried by notes of plum, blueberry, jammy blackberry, fig, sage, just a hint of vanilla... The palate is surprisingly very fresh and digestible, almost juicy (for a Cahors!), long and floral finish.
One of our favorite cuvées during tasting especially on the 2024 vintage, it's a super aromatic natural sparkling wine. Nose carried by notes of exotic fruits and citrus fruits, lovely floral bouquet. Lively bubbles and nice length, to be served chilled whenever it feels like summer.

Fruit, fruit, fruit—light and indulgent—sounds like the perfect combination, doesn't it?! A wine that's light on alcohol, naturally, best served slightly chilled—perfect as an aperitif or with the first raclettes of the season!
