Characteristics of the wine and vinification

According to the etymologists, the name "Buzet" may come either from the Latin "Buxus", meaning "box" or "wood", or from "bouzigue", which, in Latinised Gascon, means "fallow land". In other words, almost a wood. But there's a great deal of similarity between the "bouzigue" of Buzet and the "Bougigues" of this château. Having been "fallow land", "Bougigues" meant, "cleared land". The land around the ch?teau was cleared in the 7th Century. Its soils were conducive to vine-growing and were well exposed to the sun.
