Domain Gachot-Monot Cote de Nuits-Villages 2014

I like Chinese food, but when I cook it, I fix the flavor every time I taste it, and eventually it becomes to taste like Japanese food.

This time, JC cooked Chinese food.


Peas and Shrimp with Ginger flavor, and Pork and Green Bell Pepper with Black Pepper and Oyster Sauce.
JC said that he still used less oil and peppers than he was supposed to do, but unlike my Chinese food, it tasted more like real Chinese I have at restaurant.

My task was to choose a wine for this.
I usually open Riesling or other whites with Chinese food, but with Oyster sauce, I figured that light red wine would work better than white.

This is the wine I choose:

Organic and inorganic mineral was upfront, and fruits and flowers appeared from behind it.
Good wine.
Easy to drink wine which I really have to force myself to stop drinking.

My hard work paid off and I have some wine left to drink next day (right now!), and it's still very good.
 By the way, the pairing of the wine and Chinese food was good, too.
