verb/a.vwaʁ də la bu.tɛj/
to be experienced, to have experience with age
“Aubert de Villaine (Romanée-Conti) et Alexandre de Lur Saluces (Château de Fargues), deux vignerons qui ont de la bouteille, dénoncent les campagnes qui visent à réduire le vin à de l’alcool. Selon eux, il est bien plus que cela.”
Calque of Spanish tener la botella. This term allegedly derived from a practice in which Romans would drink some of a bottle of wine on their birthday, storing away the rest. Thus the reference to age.
