Very good!

 

 

 

1st Tortues en Crique Chardonnay Viognier 2020  1100 yen

It is made from 70% Chardonnay and 30% Viognier grown in Languedoc.

I felt fine fruits, clean acidity and nice minerals.

It is a pure style white wine.

I have been importing this wine since 1998.

It is one of the longest seller Relax Wines.

The name has changed recently from Tortoise Creek to Tortues en Crique due to some reason.

 

 

2nd Tortues en Crique Merlot Cabernet 2020  1100 yen

It is made from 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Languedoc.

It is a full-bodied style wine but mouthfeel is soft and mild.

I felt a lot of prunes, good acidity and seamless tannin.

It is a very well-balanced red wine.

The name has been changed but the good quality hasn’t been changed.
