“Produced by macerating fully ripe Malbec grapes on siderolithic clay, this wine showcases the characteristics of its aging in amphorae. Slightly cool but very elegant, the nose needs some air to reveal notes of red fruit and licorice, with a hint of minerality on the finish. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2022 - RVF)

About the wine:
Produced through the infusion of fully ripe Malbec grapes on siderolithic clay, this wine showcases the characteristics of its aging in amphorae. Slightly cool but very elegant, the nose needs some air to reveal notes of red fruit and licorice, with a hint of minerality on the finish.
About the estate:
Operating as an organic vineyard on the hillsides of Trespoux, the highest part of the appellation, Fabien Jouves offers a range of refined wines that respect the identity of the terroirs to the point of highlighting their geological origin on the labels of his bottles. The wines boast the dual qualities of precision and freshness. The recently built gravity-fed winery is paired with a return to mixed farming, featuring the planting of truffle trees, lavender, beehives, and old orchards, as well as the free-range raising of black pigs under organic certification. With the planting of several plots of old “conservation” grape varieties: Cahours, Negral, Baral, Valdiguié Pissaïre, Magdeleine Noire, Mérille, Grand Noir de la Calmette, Gibert, Noual, Malpé, Jurançon... Fabien Jouves possesses the plant stock, winemaking equipment, and talent that place him among the great winemakers of the Southwest. His wines are expressive and innovative, and although sulfur-free, they are always precise and delightfully delicious.
