The Story

Jordi Perez, a passionate young Catalonian, embarked on an inspiring journey from a stable job at the town hall of Auch to pursuing his true calling in viticulture and oenology. In 2010, he enrolled at the prestigious Blanquefort school and over the next five years, Jordi gained invaluable experience. In March 2015, Jordi's dedication and hard work culminated in taking over the legendary estate of Alain Castex, Casot des Mailloles. Situated in the challenging terroir of Banyuls, the estate's 5 hectares of land presented physical difficulties with its heat, steep slopes, and parcels that were impossible to work with machines. The transition between Alain and Jordi was seamless, as they both shared a common vision and approach to viticulture.

“The result of this handover is nothing short of exceptional.”

Jordi Perez produces delicious and ultra-natural wines that have captivated the palates of wine enthusiasts worldwide. Jordi Perez's story is a testament to the fact that natural wine knows no borders.
