Aug. 27
It is getting cooler than before.
I feel a slight hint of autumn.
1st Bouchard P&F Macon-Lugny Saint-Pierre 2017 2300 yen
I bought this fine Burgundy white wine by my internet wine set.
The set has 10 bottles of wine and the price is 10,000 yen.
It means that I bought this fine Burgundy with only 1,000 yen!
It’s so reasonable.
Anyway, at first, the wine didn’t open.
I didn’t feel any aroma and flavor.
However, after 10 minutes passed, I started feeling flowery aroma, rich fruits, nice acidity and fine minerals.
I was sure that it was a very fine Burgundy Chardonnay.
Great!
2nd Chateau Fongrave Rouge 2015 1410 yen
I bought it by my internet wine set, too.
I don’t drink so often Burgundy white and Bordeaux red together at home.
Francois, my old friend, produces the fine Bordeaux at Saint-Macaire.
It is made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc grown by natural farming.
I felt a very elegant bouquet, gracious fruits, silky tannin and comfortable after taste.
It is a very orthodox style Bordeaux rouge.
Francois said the vintage 2015 was one of the best vintage in his life.
I agree with him very much!
