Domaine UCHIDA - Haut Médoc - Cuvée Miracle 2019
Domaine Uchida is located in the town of Cussac, in the Haut-Médoc region of Bordeaux. Its owner, Osamu Uchida, is from Hiroshima, Japan. As a teenager, he was predestined for a sporting career in endurance racing but decided to change horizons and moved to Tokyo, where he met a great lover of German wines. In 1999, he moved to Bordeaux to work in wine and went on to visit hundreds of wineries all over France. He deepened his knowledge by obtaining a bac viti-oeno and practical training at Domaine de Chevalier and at Château Larrivet Haut-Brion. In 2006, he returned to work in Japan as a wine importer, without forgetting his dream of becoming a winemaker. Therefore, 4 years later, he returned to the Bordeaux region and became a tourist guide before buying his first 60 acres of vines. Today, Osamu Uchida has 2 hectares in conversion to organic and biodynamic agriculture. His production is minimal, almost confidential. In his garage, he vinifies with concentration, precision and an obsessive attention to detail.
The Cuvée Artisanale Miracle is entirely made from Cabernet Sauvignon. Grape harvesting and destemming are manual. Fermentation is fresh and extraction is gentle: half-traditional and half-carbonic maceration. The punching is done by hand so as not to damage the berries. The aging takes place in 500-litres barrels of one wine. The wine is not racked, fined or filtered. 1,500 bottles have been produced.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Purchase limited to 1 bottle
