Chateau Fongrave Augustin

Aug. 27

We kept a terrible hot day and had terrible heavy rain and thunder in the night.

 

I cooked dinner.

 

Edamame

 

 

Octopus Carpaccio

 

 

Green Salad

 

Wagyu Beef Steak

 

 

Very good!

 

 

 

1st Marquis de Beau Rond Chardonnay 2017 830 yen

I think this MBR Chardonnay is an outstanding table wine.

You can get a lot of 800 yen wines at supermarkets.

However, it is very difficult to find this quality wine in this class, I suppose.

I am sure that it is a very good sample of daily white wine.

So tasty!!

 

 

2nd Chateau Fongrave Augustin 2015 Sample tasting

It is the top cuvee of the Chateau Fongrave in Borbeaux.

Mr. Francois Brouard, the owner & winemaker, challenged to make this red wine with his huge passion for wine.

It is made from very old vines of 100% Merlot growing at his estate vineyards.

It is outstanding Bordeaux wine.

I saw many delicious grapes in the glass.

I felt very dense fruits and tannin.

It is obviously a full-bodied red wine but also a very delicate and elegant one.

I have been in wine business for a long time in order to meet such super delicious wine.

Great!!
