Oct. 22
It was the first day of Toranomon Store October Sale.
Even though a big typhoon was approaching, we had a long cue in the heavy rain before open.
Surprise! Surprise!
1st Tortoise Creek Chardonnay Viognier 2016 1080 yen
I was going have dinner with some winery owner but it canceled because of the typhoon approaching.
I went back home early and tasted Languedoc wine.
The taste was very clean.
It showed a very nice balance between Chardonnay and Viognier.
Chardonnay showed elegance and Viognier showed rich fruits.
I have kept importing this Languedoc since 1999 when Cave de Relax started the business.
18 years!
2nd Tortoise Creek Syrah Mourvedre 2016 1030 yen
The red is made from Syrah and Mourvedre.
It is not too heavy, not too light.
Alcohol degree is moderate, too.
It is a really well-balanced Languedoc rouge.
It is a just my taste.
I ‘m sure again that Tortoise Creek is so nice wine.
