Wine 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 then blending his meticulously gown 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 soul due to a shift towards an international style and became a poor value, give Courege-Longue's Buzet a try.
I was trying to find this wine online and was having trouble. I was unable to find a picture of this wine. I did the tasting on Saturday so I should have taken it myself, but did not want to come across as the "pesky college kid."
This wine had it's review paired up with a different wine so I had a confusing time with this and the Dom Roger Perrin. Oh well!
As strange as this whole review experience has been, I did find this wine to be peppery/spicy with a strong tannin component and an oak finish. Perhaps I am so new to this that I am easily swayed in the directions of the wine reviews I read before I taste. I hope to find my own flavor profiles that are more unique to me in the future, but I am still enjoying the tasting experience.
