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)

About the wine:
In both red and white, this flagship Buzet cuvée once again proves its credentials. 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.
About the domain :
A major cooperative in southwestern France, the Cave de Buzet produces many of the appellation's wines (red, white and rosé). It was founded in 1953, and the Buzet appellation was created twenty years later. It advocates sustainable viticulture, reconciling technical progress and natural practices.
