In 1953, winegrowers from Buzet decided to join forces and set up a cooperative. The Vignerons de Buzet winery was born. Buzet wines have come a long way since then and were awarded the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) label in 1973. Today Buzet is a major winery in south-west France and sells its red, rosé and white Buzet appellation wines throughout France and in all corners of the globe.

Dark crimson in color, with deep garnet hues. A concentrated array of aromas of mulberry, blackberry and dark plum indicate the richness to come, while savory and complex notes of charcuterie, cedar, sage and five spice tease the senses. Plush and velvety on the palate, the wine has intense fruit concentration with plum, red currant, blackberry and anise flavors, yet an enchantingly elegant and refined structure. Layers of silky tannins reveal the impressive depth of the wine before giving way to an incredibly long finish.
Review:
A rather refined Hill of Grace with roasted meat, smoked meat, and juicy plums. Some mushroom and forest-flower character, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied, juicy and savory. Light white pepper at the end. Underlying finesse and elegance to this. The flavor does not go away. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
