The Producer

About Fabien Jouves

Fabien Jouves hails from a lineage deeply rooted in grape farming in Cahors, spanning six generations. Situated in Causses, renowned for its limestone plateaus, his domaine graces the highest slopes of the Cahors appellation. Nestled atop the Quercy hills, his family's 22 hectares stand at over 1,100 feet, benefiting from cool nighttime temperatures that impart freshness to the wines. Expanding beyond his family's holdings, Fabien acquired two additional parcels, amassing over 30 hectares in total.

Transitioning from a prospective medical career, Fabien assumed the role of vigneron in 2006, spurred by his family's struggle to sustain the domaine. Opting to preserve his familial legacy, he enrolled at the esteemed École du Vin de Bordeaux.
