Sep. 10
I opened some great wines today.
1st Domaine Larue Puligny-Montrachet
Sous le Puits 2015
I like this winery very much.
This Sous le Puits is the flagship of the winery.
As soon after I opened this one, the taste was very closed.
For a while later, a lot of fine tastes came up.
I enjoyed the super elegant fruits, acidity and minerals.
I was sure again that Larue Sous le Puits was an outstanding vineyard.
2nd Coco Farm Coco-10R Pinot Noir 2017
It is made from 100％ Pinot Noir grown in Kimura Vineyard in Yoichi.
Mr. Bruce Gatlove produced this one at his 10R Winery in Iwamizawa.
I visited to both places last week.
Anyway, it is a truly outstanding Pinot Noir in Japan, I think.
I love these complex berries, deep-comfortable taste, elegant-silky tannin and some voluptuous flavor thanks of Kimura Vineyard.
Bruce pulled out the big potential of Kimura Vineyard perfectly.
This Pinot Noir is even equal to Burgundy great wine, I think.
The collaboration between Kimura-san and Bruce is the most powerful one in Japan, I think.
