The place held:

Brasserie Paul Bocuse la Cave
5-1-27 Minami-Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo
Tel. 03-3448-0049

We taste white wines from Languedoc-Roussillon. The area has varieties of grapes, attracts innovative wine makers, and produces wines that may go beyond the old classification. We tried 6 wines from different regions and grapes.
