Description
The 2019 “Les Acacias” in magnum from Mas Del Périé is a stunning expression of Malbec cultivated on the clay-limestone soils typical of Cahors’ highlands. Fabien Jouves, an innovative winemaker and a strong advocate of biodynamics, delivers a cuvée deeply rooted in the tradition of Southwest France while adding a touch of modernity and purity unique to his estate. The magnum format allows for slower and more harmonious aging, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional wines with great aging potential.
Blend
100% Malbec, from biodynamically farmed vines harvested by hand to ensure optimal grape ripeness. Aging in barrels adds complexity to the wine while preserving the expression of the terroir.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep red with purple highlights, characteristic of premium Cahors Malbecs.
Nose: Intense and complex, offering aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), floral notes of violet, and sweet spices (licorice, pepper) complemented by subtle hints of cocoa and fine wood.
Palate: Structured and powerful, with a beautiful texture of ripe, silky tannins. The flavors of ripe black fruits are enhanced by spicy and woody notes, all balanced by a mineral freshness that adds elegance. The long finish lingers with persistent notes of fruits and spices.
Aging Potential
The 2019 “Les Acacias” in magnum has a longer aging potential than the standard bottle due to the larger size, allowing the wine to evolve more slowly. It can be cellared for 12 to 15 years, developing tertiary aromas of leather, undergrowth, and tobacco while maintaining its vibrant freshness.
Food Pairings
This powerful and refined wine pairs perfectly with rich and generous dishes:
Grilled or braised red meats (ribeye, lamb)
Slow-cooked dishes such as cassoulet or daube
Game meats (venison, wild boar)
Aged hard cheeses (comté, salers, cantal)
