On the halfway through the year

Jun. 30

We are already on the halfway through the year.

I felt a very strange sense.

 

 

1st Martial Richard Blanqeutte de Limoux 2200 yen + tax

It is a sparkling wine made in Limoux, where is the coolest area in Languedoc.

It is made from mainly Mauzac, which is the local grape in this area.

I felt a sweet aroma and flavor, which is the typical character of Mauzac, but the taste was very sharp and dry.

The people who lives in Limoux always say, ” Blanquette de Limoux is earlier than Champagne. We thought Champagne how to make a fine sparkling wine a long time ago.”

 

 

2nd Domaine Theulot Juillot Mercurey 2017

I bought this Burgundy red wine at Amoureuse, a new wine shop in Shirokanedai.

The price was probably around 3000 yen.

I felt a light touch mouthfeel but there were concentrated fine fruits hidden, which is the character of Mercurey.

It is nice and elegant.

I was surprised at hearing from dainajo-sama, “I like this one. The style is similar to Marquis de Beau Rond Pinot Noir.”

Really?

I am flattered to hear that…
