I have been very busy in this week.

1st Antugnac La Closerie des Lys Les Blanc 2013  1080 yen

It is made in Limoux Languedoc from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino.

Because of the cool climate in Limoux, the taste is a very cool touch.

I like this fine minerals very much

Very good!

 

 

2nd Essence D’Abouriou Cotes du Marmandais 2012  1480 yen  New Arrivals

It made from Abouriou, which is a little-known local grape variety, and Merlot grown in Cotes de Marmandais.

I know Abouriou is the first grape variety in “Jancis Robinson’s Guide to Grape Variety” because of the alphabet.

But I haven’t tasted it yet.

It was the first trial for me.

Oh! At first, I felt very strong acidity.

The style was very unique. The bottle shape was very unique, too.

Well, gradually, the taste was getting better and better.

I like this red acidity and dense tannin.

As if, the wine made my body be clean.

I like it very much but I don’t recommend this if you don’t like acidity.
