Fabien is obviously world famous for his Mas del Perie wines, super fresh terroir tuned wines from malbec grown on the high Quercy plateau, but as many of you will know, he also has his own side project producing wines which not only have the ultimate thirst quenching characters, but have a message to give. These wines are produced with limited cuvaison, no added SO2 and are typically Vin de Soif made for drinking in the year after harvest. New additions  include the NDD wines - Nectar Des Dieux and we had an extra allocation of Skin Contact this year.
