1st Chateau Fongrave Bordeaux Blanc 2018  1250 yen + tax

It is made from 100% Semillon grown in Saint- Macaire Bordeaux by sustainable farming.

Sanit-Macaire produces mainly sweet type white wine.

However, this one is a dry type.

Dry type 100% Semillon is not unusual, is it?

I felt rich fruits, modest acidity and fine minerals.

It was very good for sashimi today.

 

 

2nd Chateau Fongrave Bordeaux Rouge 2016  1500 yen + tax

The red is made from 90% Merlot and 10 % Cabernet Franc.

It is a classical type of Bordeaux red wine.

I felt concentrated fruits, good acidity, silky tannin and long after taste.

It is a full-body style of Bordeaux wine.

Also I felt very elegant mouthfeel thanks of the natural farming and wine making.

I was sure again that Fongrave is an excellent Bordeaux wine.
