Cuvee is the French term used to denote wine of a specific blend or batch. The word originates from the French word "cuve" meaning vat. Heavily influenced by soil, climate and water and water table, great cigars and champagnes have much in common. Great champagne is created by harvesting the finest grapes and fermenting each specific variety seperately. The vintages are then combined in artful proportions to optimize each blend or "Cuvee".
Understanding the characteristics and composition of each plot of soil, allows the Cusano's to select the ideal tobacco variety to plant and grow. They then maximize the the qualities of each component. Fermentation of the leaf varieties are undertaken seperately to achieve the ideal balance and nuances offered by nature to create a harmonious blend.
The Cuvee Rouge is a superbly smooth and well balanced Dominican Puro. It uses a rare Sun Grown Dominican wrapper and the fillers and binder all hail from the Dominican Republic as well. This cigar is medium to full bodied with a deep, rich and spicey flavor. It has a fairly potent finish.
