2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

Note du Guide Hachette des Vins : 2**(Vin remarquable) + Coup de Coeur
"In white as in red, this flagship cuvée from the Buzet winery once again proves its nobility. It adds a new Favorite to its long list of successes with this deep garnet-red 2011, featuring an expressive, intense nose of ripe fruit with a hint of wood. On the palate, the wine is round, fleshy, generous and velvety. Power and seduction come together in this Buzet, which can be drunk young or aged for a few years. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)
