[Tasting] Auchan Foire aux vins (22.Mars ~ 01.Avril)


21.Mars.2017
Auchan Foire aux vins
à Auchan Bordeaux Lac

Wine tasting for Foire aux vins!


There was an event at Auchan Bordeaux Lac. 
To promote sales, wine tasting event was held at supermarket!
There were 11 booths of wine and 2 stands of cheese and ham. 


I tasted wine from the most expensive price. (LOL)


1. (7) Chateaux Carbonnieux - AOC Pessac-Leognan
vintage 2014, 24.95 euros

Chateau Carbonnieux was very young but the aroma was good. 
The other one could be better to drink now. 



2. (6) Chateau L'Estran - AOC Medoc
vintage 2010, 9.99 euros

It was also too young but with good smell.


3. (2) Chateau La Chepelle des Tours - AOC Montagne Saint Emilion
vintage 2009, 5.95 euros

This was the first time that I heard the name of AOC. 
If you want to drink soon, I think this is the best choice.



4. (3) Abbaye de Saint Ferme - AOC Bordeaux Superieur

Not so bad


This cheese was really nice. Cheese with chili blah blah
from Pay basque. 
Hurray Piment!! Hurray Chili!



5. (8) BB de Berticot - AOC Cotes de Duras (Bio)
vintage 2016, 3.79 euros

It is dry white wine. It was very fresh and something I looked for.
So I bought it. haha



6. (9) L'aurore en Gascogne, Bernard Magrez - IGP Cotes de Gascogne
vintage 2015, 6.50 euros

This was so nice. It is quite sweet as between off- dry to medium sweet. 
I think that I should go to Auchan once again to buy this wine.



Jambon (Porc) from Pyrenes.
It was also very good. 



7. (11) Renaissance by Chateau Leognan - AOC Bordeaux Rose
vintage 2016, 6.99 euros. 

This booth offered all tree types of wine: Red, White and Rose.
I tasted White and Rose, and I prefer White. 
Always, I'm thinking that.. although wine is really good, 
the person is not kind, then I don't want to buy. 
Wine is not essential product like toilet paper.
This is an item of personal preference like tabacco or coffee. 
If you have a good memory with a certain wine, you would like to consume the same thing continuously. 
Of course, once you know the tasty of wine, you also would like to taste other wines. 
However, the first experience and the best experience are always able to have huge influence on your choice. 
I believe that wine brands has to do their best to give good memory or good experience to their clients as well as the quality. 



8. (4) Chateau de Landiras - AOC Graves
vintage 2015, 6.50 euros

It was also good. If I buy a red, I would buy this. 

In the event hall, some bread was also provided. 
There was a really good bread with dried berries.


9. (1) Chateau Noblet - AOC Cotes de Bourg
vintage 2015, 3.99 euros

It was my preference. It was enough strong, therefore it would be good to keep for several years.


10. (5) Chateau Pouyau de Boisset - AOC Cotes de blaye
vintage 2014, 6.99 euros

It was also good. 

At the last booth, Provence Rose, there was nobody. 
So I was not able to taste the wine.



There was a event to give magnum size wine. 
I didn't know that they choose winner during the tasting time. 
So.. my ticket... came back home with me.. 
so sad.. 


Between electronic products section and life products section, 
there is big part of wines for Foire aux vins. 
The price is quite cheap and there are diverse wines even from the world.
