Sample Tasting

 

Mar. 23

The PC system of the store was down.

I bought a new 40m LAN cable and changed it from old one climbing a ceiling of the backyard.

 

It took about 3 hours.

I was so tired.

1st Famille Lieubeau Folle Blanche 2016 Sample tasting

I received this sample from my favorite winery in Loire.

Folle Blanche is a popular grape variety for making Cognac.

It used to be grown huge volume in Loire before.

However, I hardly see it recently.

Well, it is a nice wine.

I felt very charming sweet acidity.

I think it is a very delicate wine.

But I am wondering if we will import them keeping the good quality.

 

 

2nd Famille Lieubeau Cabernet Franc 2015 Sample tasting

It is a sample from the winery of the new vintage Cabernet Franc.

Comparing this 2015 with 2014 vintage, I was sure the new vintage is far better than old one.

I remembered the vintage 2015 in Loire is a great one.

It has very dense fruits, impressive-fine tannin and very long after taste.

I think you can’t find such a nice Cabernet Franc so often.

Unbelievable, the price will be only 1500 yen as same as 2014 vintage.
