Cuvée 11
In 1821, Jean Bouey acquired his first eleven hectares that will be completed over the generations to constitute the current Famille Bouey’s 70 hecatres (173 acres). Cuvee 11 pays tribute to the origins of this great family adventure
Tasting Notes
This wine offers an intense and brilliant garnet color. Expressive aromas of black cherry, plum and spice fill the nose while the palate boasts ample structure and fine tannins. Its aromatic persistence makes for an arresting finale.
