Domaine UCHIDA - Mélodie - Merlot 2020
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 grape harvest produced 1.000 bottles in 2020.
Grape variety: 100% Merlot
