What do you think of the castle of Latour in '05?" Yuan Zan didn't want to lose face in front of the school flowers, so he was very generous.
Jiang Shanshan said: "It's okay if you are free, I don't have much research on red wine, just have such a meaning." ”
Since Jiang Shanshan had no opinion, Yuan Zan called the waiter over and ordered another bottle of 05-year-old Latour Castle.
"Yuan Zan, you are treating it differently, a bottle of 05-year-old Latour Castle is nearly a dollar, and the bottle of red wine you ordered for us just now is 7000, if you can't give us a satisfactory statement, you will definitely be punished for wine." Yue Wentong further fought for more alliances, "Is it right for everyone to say?
"It really deserves to be punished! And it has to be punished heavily!" was also the one who was not taken seriously, Bao Xiaolei responded first.
Yue Wentong found a reason to punish Yuan Zan for drinking, this kind of thing that has nothing to do with watching a big drama, naturally no one objected, and everyone helped.
Although Yuan Zan drank a little too much, his brain was not confused, and the reason came as soon as he opened his mouth, "There were only two big beauties here just now, and now there are three big beauties, of course the grade of red wine has to be raised by another level, I am respecting the majority of women, if I am punished for this, then I am not too wronged?"
"It seems that you haven't drunk too much, your brain is so clear, everyone will have to pay tribute to Mr. Yuan a few glasses of wine in a while. Yue Wentong felt uncomfortable and wanted to find someone to vent his anger, but he couldn't go too far, so he could only point to it.
The bottle of 05-year-old Latour Castle ordered by Yuan Zan is clearly ordered specifically for Jiang Shanshan, which everyone knows.
Seriously investigated, Yuan Zan's approach is indeed inappropriate. The drinks he ordered varied from person to person, which made it clear that he had made a distinction in his mind.
Obviously, Yue Wentong and Bao Xiaolei's position in Yuan Zan's mind is far inferior to Jiang Shanshan.
The bottle of red wine I ordered just now, none of the male classmates present drank it, and it was completely digested by Yue Wentong and Bao Xiaolei.
Now that Jiang Shanshan is here, Yuan Zan specially ordered a bottle of higher-grade red wine for her, and the meaning of this is self-evident.
is also a school flower, in front of so many classmates, Yuan Zan treats him differently, and Yue Wentong is the one who is not taken seriously, Yue Wentong naturally feels a little difficult to get over face.
Fortunately, all she cares about is face, not the kind of person with a small belly, she is just a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she said it to let Yuan Zan know her mistake, and the matter will pass.
Yuan Zan's EQ is not low, he just suddenly saw the arrival of the goddess in his mind, a little enthusiastic, and it was inevitable to do things impulsively, and now he was targeted by two female classmates, and hurriedly remedied: "I didn't look carefully at the wine list just now, Latour in 05 is very rare, Parker's team score is 98 points, James Sarkling's score is 99 points, and the score of "Wine Observer" is also 99 points, which is much better than Latour in 04. Now on the market, a bottle of 04-year-old Château Latour is about 8,000 yuan, and a bottle of 05-year-old Château Latour is about yuan, and the price gap will definitely be greater in the future. ”
Yuan Zan talked about the relevant knowledge of red wine, and sure enough, the topic was revealed, and everyone began to discuss the professional knowledge of red wine.
Everyone here, except for Xiao Yao and Yuan Zan, everyone else basically only knows a little bit about the professional knowledge of red wine, and it is precisely because they don't understand it, so when they hear Yuan Zan talk about this topic, they are more interested and want to know more, so as to make up for their own shortcomings.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Yuan Zan became more and more characteristic, "UR is located in the Pauillac region of Bordeaux Médoc, France, which is rich in famous wines, and is one of the five first-class wineries in Bordeaux, known as the national treasure of France. Château Latour has 92 hectares of vineyards, of which 47 hectares are planted in the vineyard known as the 'paddock', where grapes are used to make the winery's Grand Cru wine.
This 47 hectares of land is considered by many Bordeaux connoisseurs to have the best terroir of Bordeaux. The vineyards are planted with 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and Verando, with 9,000 vines per hectare and a total of 9,000 vines. The average age of the vines in the Château Latour vineyard is 40 years, with the oldest vines being more than 100 years old. ”
Listening to Yuan Zan talking eloquently there, what he said was very interesting, and the audience also listened attentively, Xiao Yao felt very interesting.
Yuan Zan's understanding of Latu, although it is a bit on paper, has a good memory, at least he is not wrong.
"After harvesting, the grapes are sorted according to the characteristics of the terroir, destemmed, pressed and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about three weeks to fully extract the multiple flavours of the grapes. The following month after fermentation, the wine is subjected to an malolactic fermentation, in which the wine becomes smoother, more rounded and more fine.
After the first tasting, the winemakers compare the styles of the wines in different stainless steel tanks, mix them and transfer them to oak barrels for maturation.
In mid-January, the winery's team of winemakers conduct a second tasting to decide which wines will be the original, secondary and tertiary wines.
At this time, the winemaker will also taste the pressed wine, and appropriately select the higher quality pressed wine and the artesian wine for blending. The oak barrels used by the winery come from the forests of central France, and the original wines are matured in new oak barrels every year.
In 2012, the winery decided not to sell en primeur wines anymore and will continue to age the wines after bottling. The cellar aging time of the main wine, the second brand wine, and the third brand wine is 4-6 years respectively. In other words, we can only drink genuine liquor made after 2012 until at least 2020. ”
"I only know the brand of Château Latour, does Latour have a second card and a third card? I really don't know what kind of brand they are. Jia Xueru didn't know how to pretend to understand, but sincerely asked for advice.
Even Jia Xueru was so supportive, and Yuan Zan explained more energetically, "Latour Castle has three masters, namely the main wine Latour Castle, the sub-brand wine Latu Fortress, and the three-brand wine Latu Boyak. ”
"It turns out that Latour also has a sub-brand of wine like our Moutai and Wuliangye, and he has grown knowledge. Is there a big difference between these three types of wine?" Jia Xueru continued to ask.
Yuan Zan continued: "The difference is quite big. Among them, the main wine is powerful, thick, full of aromas such as blackcurrant and delicate black cherry, and has a large ageing potential, which means that it can be stored for a longer time. Naturally, the second and third wines are slightly inferior in taste to the main wines, and the ageing potential is also poorer. ”
