Location: France, Sud-Ouest, Cahors
Winemaker: Fabien Jouves
Grapes: Malbec
Winemaking: Biodynamic. Harvest by hand. Grapes are destemmed, spontaneous fermentation in neutral oak and cement with indigenous yeasts. Aged 6 months in neutral oak and cement. No fining or filtering.
From the Importer Zev Rovine: Fabien Jouves is from an old farming family in Causse and became a winemaker in 2006 when he created his first cuvée, “Mas del Périé”, on the highest slopes of Cahors.
Jouves’ estate, 21 hectares in the junction of Quercy and Cahors, was selected to highlight the many expression of Côt. Reinforcing this is Fabien’s commitment to biodynamic viticulture that respects “life, plant, man, and the environment.” Following biodynamic agriculture adds strength to his terroir by supporting the whole environment from the vines to the animals.
The vinification is completely natural without any oenological inputs. His wines are then aged in concrete vats, barrels, or casks, according to its characteristics and personality.
‘Amphore’ is 100% Malbec from a single hectare of 40-year-old vines. Destemmed and fermented and aged in vat for 30 days, aged in 800L amphorae for 6 months.
