Mas del Périé 2008 La Pièce Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $85
This is the top wine from Fabien Jouves’s estate. There is some new wood aging here and it shows in the polished edges of the very firm tannins. Burnt coffee and plum skin flavors add to the considerable power, the fruit just beginning to push through the tannins. Age for several more years.

Mas del Périé 2007 La Pièce Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $85
How good to find a powerful wine like this with reasonable alcohol. For this is an impressively dense and concentrated wine from 50-year-old vines. The fruit is ripe, juicy and chunky to go with the polished wood. A wine for cellaring.

Mas del Périé 2009 La Roque Malbec (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
With the richness of the vintage in mind, this wine makes a powerfully extravagant statement. There is nothing subdued about the concentrated tannins or the intensely rich black fruits. Even with 3–4 years aging, this will still be a bold wine.

Mas del Périé 2007 Les Acacias Malbec (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Almost black in color, this shows the firm and tannic side of Malbec. The wood-aged wine balances well between spicy toast and dense fruits. The structure has a mineral character, promising some aging over 3–4 years or more.

- Online Exclusive
Rich, firm, opulent and impressive. With this vintage, the wood element seems to have tamed and integrated, leaving an attractive edge of chocolate and coffee.

Mas del Périé 2008 Les Acacias Malbec (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Burnt toast aromas show the youth of this wine. Their tannins dominate, giving a bitter chocolate and coffee character. The fruit is still lost here and needs 3–4 years to come out. An impressive wine for the future.

Mas del Périé 2009 Les Escures Malbec (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
Open, rich wine, from young vines, ripe with plum and spice, touch of bitterness, followed by a rich, full palate.

Mas del Périé 2007 La Roque Malbec (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
The 18 months’ barrel aging has given a strong toasty wood taste that smothers the black plum fruits. Six months could see better integration, but the juiciness is missing in the bone-dry tannins.
