One day, in the 1990s, Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux was particularly struck by the very old vines of this beautiful small hillside vineyard. Wishing to make a wine neither like Bordeaux, nor Cahors, and working within parameters such as grape varieties imposed by the appellation rules, Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux set about creating a fine wine epitomising the best of Buzet.
Great Wine AOP Buzet
A dark, deep colour with purple reflections, limpid. The nose has aromas of black cherries and blueberries, prune and fig. Attack on the palate is frank with firm, dense tannins, then clear, complex flavours and a delicate woody touch.

Vines are a well-reputed vineyard with alternating gravelly and clay-limestone soils overlooking the Garonne river valley, as well as an oceanic climate propitious to making good wines of various kinds. Very rigorous methods in the vineyard, including a density of over 6,000 vines per hectare.
