1st Domaine Pech Pouille Terres d’Angiles Blanc 2015 1080 yen

It is made from 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Chardonnay grown by Lutte Raisonnee in Languedoc Minervois.

It felt very natural fruits and fine minerals.

Tasty!

 

 

2nd Domaine Pech Pouille Terres d’Angiles Rouge 2015 1080 yen

The red is made from 60% Carignan, 15% Grenache, 15% Merlot and 10% Cinsault.

I felt very fine typical style of Minervois tastes, which are concentrated fruits, soft acidity, mild tannins and elegant black berries.

It’s a very fine red wine.

I think it is a very good bargain.
