| Buzet, on the Garonne River, halfway between Toulouse and Bordeaux, produces wonderfully uncomplicated wines which are refreshing and unpretentious. Although they are scarcely known in Germany, they are very popular in France. The Buzet winemakers’ cooperative looks back on a 2,000-year tradition of viticulture. Numerous wine chateaux in the area are still witnesses to that era and maintain their names under the umbrella of the winemakers’ cooperative. The Renaissance wines (renaissance means rebirth) were given their name because many vines that had been affected by blight were able to flower again. |
