What is a wine cuvée?

In viticulture, a cuvée refers to the careful blending of different grape varieties or wines. The goal is to create a balanced flavor profile that optimally combines the characteristics of each grape variety. This process, also known as assemblage, allows for the intensification of nuances and aromas. In most cases, wines from the same vintage are blended, although different vintages are often combined, especially for Champagne . The art of cuvéeing is reflected in the harmonious fusion of flavor and character, resulting in a wine that reflects the expertise and creativity of the winemaker.
