Les Agudes, Fabien Jouves, Cahors, France, 2024

FULL. ROUND. LUSCIOUS.

Consistently energetic & balanced.

Fresh, ripe nectarine, honeyed melon & a flicker of honeysuckle. The wine has body & packets of flavour. Its ripeness is balanced so perfectly with acidity, making it powerful, yet lean. Fabian annually has to battle the drama of climate change & does so with bucketloads of charisma & style. He exudes creativity & class with vintage-after-vintage being one step more refined than the ones before. His cuvées are all show-stoppers, from the table wines to his premium ranges.

Grape: Ugni Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Vinification: Natural, Unfiltered, Vegan

Food Pairing: I'd say a nice roast. Pork or chicken, turkey even... vegetables, or something cassarole-esque.
