Heavy job

Jun. 20

It was a day-off.

I weeded my garden as well.

 

 

The grasses are very, very tough.

 

 

I decided to dig their roots instead of cutting them.

 

 

It was a very heavy job…

 

 

At dinner, I had a starter at my balcony as well.

 

 

The sashimi was better than usual.

 

 

 

 

1st Chateau Fongrave Blanc 2017 1150 yen + tax

It was the second time I had tasted this Bordeaux dry white wine in this month.

It made from 100% Semillon.

I like the pure fruits and fine minerals very much.

Bordeaux white wine is not so popular compared with Bordeaux red wine.

However, I prefer to white than red.

When I have been Bordeaux at the first time in 1987.

I was amazed at drinking Grave white wine.

It was outstandingly tasty than I tasted before.

At that time, almost all white Bordeaux had damage in Japan, I think.

 

 

2nd Chateau Fongrave Rouge 2016 1300 yen + tax New arrivals

It has been out of stock for a while.

We received the new arrivals with the new vintage.

It made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc grown in the estate vineyards in Saint- Macaire by natural farming.

I like the natural fruits, elegant tannin and nice mouthfeel.

I didn’t feel any bad taste disturbing may plate.

I am sure again it is a very fine Bordeaux rouge.
