Cuvée

Cuvée is a term used in the wine industry to refer to a specific batch, blend, or classification of wine, especially in Champagne and sparkling wines. It often denotes a particular selection of grapes or a special blend crafted by the winemaker to achieve a desired flavor profile. The word originates from French, meaning "vat" or "tank," highlighting the wine's origin from a particular fermentation or blending process. Essentially, a cuvée can indicate a premium, carefully crafted wine that reflects the producer’s expertise and style.
