Reset my palate

 

Jan. 4

No Wine Day

 

 

 

Jan. 5

I went to Toranomon Kotohiraguu Shrine near Cave de ReLax.

 

 

It is my annual New Year visit.

 

 

 

1st Marquis de Beau Rond Chardonnay 2016 830 yen

I reset my palate, which tasted a lot of expensive wines, by this casual Chardonnay.

However, it was very tasty.

I like this fine fruits, nice citrus and good minerals.

I think it may be better than expensive wines in some situations.

Very good!

 

 

2nd Bellecourt Pinot Noir 2016 1200 yen

I tasted many expensive Pinot Noirs in these New Year days.

However, this Languedoc casual Pinot Noir was also good.

I like very fine red berries, elegant tannin and fine after taste.

Regarding cost performance, this Pinot Noir is better than some expensive ones, I think.
