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.
