One of our great favorites during the tasting: a cheerful juice, on redcurrant and spices, solar but only 10% alcohol, a slender, silky fruit, the palate is super elegant, long and floral finish.
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.
