Fabien Jouves - Skin Contact 2024

$28.00

Fabien Jouves’ family has a long history farming grapes in Cahors. The domaine is a 6th generation property and is located in Causses (an Occitan word meaning limestone plateau), on the highest slopes of the Cahors appellation. Their practicing on biodynamic viticulture, and respect for the environment can be tasted in their wines.

Destemmed, 90 day maceration, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous and aging 6 months, with no fining or filtering is the result of this well-balanced skin-contact with delicious exotic fruits aromas and notes of tropical fruits, apricot, orange blossom, lime and light spicy notes. The texture is pleasant with a refreshing acidity. The color in the glass makes you imagine a sunny summer day, but it’s a wine to drink all year round.

Pairs well with grilled fish, roasted chicken, goat cheese, creamy pasta dishes, and apricot pie.
