Shop review: "Old vines on excellent terroirs with sandy-gravel and clay soils, David decided to make his own wines instead of selling his fruit to the coop and focus on terroir-driven, distinct wines of high quality rather than blending his meticulously grown fruit in that grown by others of lesser ambition. Courege-Longue farms all their fruit under strict organic standards. For those bemoaning that Bordeaux lost all its sold due to a shift towards an international style and became a poor value, give Courege-Longue's Buzet a try." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Courege Longue Buzet poured a dark red rose in the glass. Scents of blackberry, pepper, coffee, and mocha stood out on the nose. This wine had notes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot on the tongue with blackberries and spices complimenting its smooth finish. This wine was well balanced and an enjoyable sip.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
