Shizuku and Kido gave aspiring model Miho Nakajima a wine that feels like a warm, memory-filled home with the cozy warmth of wood, unpretentious and perhaps a bit dull, but always waiting with a smile, a wine that pairs well with Japanese simmered dishes.

Tasting notes

Saint-Romain Rouge Sous Roche is a Pinot Noir from Domaine Chassorney, nestled in the Burgundy region of France. This 2009 vintage brings the exceptional terroir of Saint-Romain to your glass, capturing the essence of this unique area.

In Volume 34 of 'Drops of God', Shizuku and Kido share this wine with aspiring model Miho Nakajima. It's described as a wine that feels like a cozy, well-lived-in home filled with memories. It's not flashy, but it pairs beautifully with simple Japanese simmered dishes, leaving a lasting impression.

Pouring into the glass, it shows a brick-red rim indicating its maturity. The aroma is open, revealing layers of tea, violets, and a hint of underbrush complexity. On the palate, the wine is light yet structured, with vibrant acidity typical of Pinot Noir that grips the mouth. The tannins are velvety, maintaining the wine's overall harmony.

The finish is moderately long, leaving a gentle impression. It's best enjoyed at a slightly cooler temperature, allowing you to savor each sip slowly, much like reminiscing about cherished memories.
