About the Name: The name is Fabien Jouves’ bold response to French wine regulations that forbid the use of Jurançon Noir in Cahors AOC wines. When the authorities rejected his blend for its nonconformity, Jouves refused to abandon the grape he loved. Instead, he bottled it proudly under this provocative name — a statement of creative freedom and defiance against restrictive bureaucracy.
