Fleshy, ripe and textured white wine from a producer in Cahors more principally associated with Malbec production. Les Agudes is a huge blend of white grapes that have enjoyed basking in the heat of the south - there are floral, honeyed notes and peachy stone fruit, but the wine retains a zippy line of acidity to cut through it all. It is raised in a mixture of vessels, both steel and wood, to maintain a balance of richness and edge. For those who prefer a bit of substance to their white wines.
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.
