Prestige Cuvée

A producer's top wine — often, but not always, vintage — assembled from the best parcels and aged for years.

Prestige cuvée is a marketing term rather than a legal one, but in practice it means the house's flagship: made in small quantities, drawn from long‑established parcels, aged well beyond the legal minimum.

What to expect

Depth, precision and a long finish. Style varies by house: some prestige cuvées are Blanc de Blancs, some Pinot‑led, some blends of many villages.

Editorial note

A prestige cuvée is often described in language that outruns the glass. Trust the taste and the finish, not the label.
