2019 "B763" Mas del Périé Fabien Jouves

Description

The 2019 “B763” from Mas Del Périé is a bold and distinctive cuvée by Fabien Jouves, an innovative winemaker in the Cahors appellation. This wine, made exclusively from Malbec, represents a modern and natural vision of this traditional grape variety, cultivated biodynamically. The name “B763” refers to the specific plot from which the grapes are sourced, one of the highest in elevation on the estate, offering a terroir that brings both freshness and elegance to the wine.

Blend

100% Malbec, the emblematic grape of Cahors, elevated through natural winemaking practices and careful aging.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep red, nearly black, typical of Malbec, with violet reflections.

Nose: The nose reveals complex aromas of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) accompanied by subtle floral notes (violet) and spices (pepper, licorice), with a touch of minerality that evokes the limestone terroir.

Palate: The palate is powerful and generous, with dense, well-integrated tannins. The black fruit flavors are complemented by nuances of cocoa, leather, and a refreshing acidity that balances the richness of the wine. The finish is long, with lingering spice and mineral notes.

Aging Potential

The 2019 B763 has strong aging potential. It can be enjoyed now to appreciate its power and fruitiness, but it will develop greater complexity and refinement after 8 to 10 years of cellaring.

Food Pairings

With its structure and intensity, this wine pairs perfectly with rich, flavorful dishes:

Grilled or sauced red meats (ribeye, game)

Slow-cooked dishes like cassoulet or confit de canard

Strong, aged cheeses (Roquefort, Cantal)
