The word of the wine: Cuvée

Often followed by a name that allows for recognition and identification, the word "cuvée" designates a specific wine within the production of a winemaker. This wine is characterized by a specific grape variety, a type of maturation and an organoleptic profile. All the vintages of a domain constitute a range.
