2022 Fabien Jouves Mas del Périé La Roque Cahors, France Joliet Only native yeast is used

Only native yeast is used and the juice undergoes a full malolactic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before it is transferred to old oak barrels where it rests for 8 to 18 months

The nose is exuberant: ripe tropical fruit

Sappy and snappy Pinot profile that reminds me of Vini Viti Vinci

and the Hawks Butte Vineyard which sits at 1200 ft

somewhere around 60 years old
