Tanaka 1789 x Chartier 002 Grandeur 2018

Here, Chartier has crafted what is admittedly a “sexier” 2018 vintage Blend 002. He has discovered the ideal harmony between Tanaka’s new Chartier-style sakes, which offer a higher natural acidity than is typically seen in the sake world. In this case, he provides an exotic aromatic profile and a fruit bomb style in mouth, reminiscent of the best Pinot Gris from Alsace. The result is an expressive and flavourful sake that explodes into a symphony of flavours from the first sip.

DOMINANT AROMA Rose, honeydew, lychee, almond milk.
MOUTHFEEL Full-bodied, with an explosive, juicy fruit attack, coupled with a sensual texture and balanced by a unique naturally fresh acidity.
LINGERING FLAVOURS White peach, almond, red apple, rose and lychee.
