Chapter 929: The King and the Queen

Rows of red wine were arranged in rows according to varieties and vintages, and Yang Dongxu stood unceremoniously in front of the red wine produced by Château Lafite.

After all, the 82-year-old Lafite is so famous, so he came up with a lot of Internet memes, such as giving me a bottle of '82-year-old Coke, or giving me an 82-year-old steamed bun and so on.

"Lafite is one of the five largest Châteaux in Portol, France, with a long history. The taste of red wine is characterized by outstanding floral and fruity aromas. On the palate, she is mellow and elegant, and is known as the queen of the wine kingdom. Hayes whispered beside her.

"Who is the king in the wine kingdom?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask curiously, with a hint of a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth, a little funny.

I don't know why, in Europe and the United States, people always feel that the queen seems to be more amazing than the king. This stunning may be because of some legends of beautiful queens, or the queens who have become queens in Europe and the United States are so amazing, after all, compared to men who are born to inherit the throne, women pay much more to sit in this position.

"Romanée Conti Château, the king of dreams in the kingdom of wine. Compared with the domineering of the ancient ruler king, he is like a young and noble gentleman king, who can give every girl a dream-like tenderness and romance. Hayes's eyes were sparkling, like a young girl falling in love.

Yang Dongxu shrugged his shoulders unconsciously, he can taste some taste of red wine, as for the silky smooth, dreamy romance or something, maybe his natural appreciation cells are really insufficient, even if he is so rich now, he can't taste these things from red wine.

At the same time, in his heart, Château Romanée is more like a queen, and Lafite is the king. Although he didn't know much about wine tasting, he had learned about it before. Romanée Conti is more like a girl in the sommelier's evaluation, fragrant and elegant with a wonderful aroma, while Lafite is mellow and more like a man.

"Then do you want to drink the king or the queen tonight?" he asked with a smile, it had nothing to do with him whether it was the king or the queen, anyway, he was going to open a good bottle of wine to celebrate today. Especially if you don't feel distressed if you prescribe someone else's good wine, then the mood will be even happier.

"Rafi. Hayes began.

"Why? Could it be that Lafite is more in tune with today's atmosphere?"

"Although Romanée Conti has a long history and is one of the best wineries, there are not many good vintages, only 1952, 1990 and 1995, the three vintages are outstanding, at least the first three of all the red wines, even the first ones.

A 52-year-old wine is a little too far away to be taken out on its own and tasted with some like-minded friends, rather than as a side wine to dinner.

The '90 and '95 wines are too young, and it may not be until after 2010 that they are at their most aromatic, and now is not the perfect time to open them. Hayes pursed her red lips, and although she hadn't drunk yet, she seemed to have imagined the incomparable pleasure of the smell of wine filling her mouth.

"What about Rafi? Do you want to choose '82?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.

As for the statement that Romanée-Conti in '52 needed to be on the set and not a sullen at the dinner table, he didn't say much. Anyway, in his opinion, wine is for drinking, and when he drinks, he only depends on his mood. As for the occasion and the way and process of drinking, it does not match this wine.

Excuse me...... I've never accommodated anyone, let alone a bottle of wine. Perhaps from a professional point of view, he is right and can bring out the taste of fine wine to the extreme, but he feels that his happiness is the most important thing.

"'96. Hayes had a smile on her face that was both professional and not kind.

"Isn't this year young?"

"The Lafite wines of '96 and '98 are also very good compared to the better vintages of Lafite, which are perfect for dinner. Hayes explained.

Yang Dongxu shrugged his shoulders, and couldn't help but think in his heart: This is suitable for dinner meals, probably because these two wines are not bad, but not good, so even if you eat with the taste of food mixed in your mouth, it is not a waste to drink it.

"Then choose Romanée Conti in '52. Yang Dongxu pointed to the shelves in another area.

This is the area where Romanée-Conti wines are located, and when all the wines in the cellar are divided into regions, in addition to the arrangement by variety and vintage, there is also a separate design for each brand of wine.

For example, the most conspicuous thing here is a separate display on the shelf, the bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, like a queen, is guarded in the center by other vintages of red wine.

And the Romanée-Conti red wine area, which is guarded in the center, is naturally the transcendent existence of a 52-year-old bottle of T Klaas.

"Huh?" Hayes exclaimed subconsciously, her face incredulous. It seemed a little incredulous that a bottle of such a legendary red wine was going to be opened tonight, and she had the privilege of tasting it.

But this kind of red wine is really not suitable for dinner meals, and drinking like this is simply a kind of desecration of this wine. But there was an unconcealable look of hope in her eyes, and she also wanted to taste the legendary red wine.

Not only Haeath, but even after entering the wine cellar, he stood quietly by and watched Yang Dongxu and a few housekeepers who chose wine. When Yang Dongxu pointed to 52 Romani Conti, there was also a consternation on his face that should not be revealed.

You must know that he is professionally trained, and he is not the top butler of the British Royal Butler Diploma. Such an expression that should not appear in his profession actually appeared, which shows how violent his inner fluctuations are.

"Pack it for me and take it with me tomorrow when I leave. Yang Dongxu, who gasped for breath when he spoke, raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a prank-prone smile.

"Don't even think about it. Toy's voice sounded behind him, and then the middle-aged fat man, who had been a little blessed and had developed a lot laterally, trotted over in three steps and two steps, blocking in front of his baby.

"I searched for a long time to find such a 52-year-old bottle of Romanée Conti, don't you want to take it with you. Toy waited angrily and stared at Yang Dongxu, looking like Yang Dongxu wanted this bottle of wine unless he stepped on his corpse.

"There's no need to be so nervous, right? Yang Dongxu glared at Toy with a stingy expression, and the next moment a mischievous smile appeared on his face again, "I won't take it away, or we will drink it tonight." ”

"Don't even think about it!" Toy roared, with a tendency to roll up his sleeves and fight with Yang Dongxu.

"Okay, okay, if you don't drink it, why don't you drink it, why do you react so much. Yang Dongxu pursed his lips, "According to Miss Haith's recommendation, let's drink 96-year-old Lafite at night." But I'm going to share a few bottles of those wines. ”

Yang Dongxu turned around and pointed to the 82-year-old Lafite behind him who was guarded in the middle, compared to the 52-year-old Romanée Conti who was the king of the red wine region of his own brand, the number of queens here in 82 was very manageable.

"Two bottles at most. Toy said through gritted teeth.

"Don't be so stingy, and I won't bring me an extra box. Yang Dongxu said.

Toy stared at him angrily, just as Hayes and the butler were worried about whether he would hit someone. He spewed hot air from his nostrils, "Four bottles at most, and we'll have a fight to decide the winner, and you won't be allowed to beat me for any other wine after taking Lafite." ”

"Okay, okay, just do as you say. Four bottles are just four bottles, isn't it just a few bottles of wine, as for it? The next time you go to China, I'll open you a bottle of good wine to entertain you. ”

"Take one of these four bottles of raffite?" asked Toy.

Although his wine cellar is priceless, the good wines in it are even more covetous. But this does not mean that he can drink these every day, for example, Lafite in 82, drink one bottle less. Normally, he had only seen these things, but if he could get some of the other red wines, he would have drunk a little to celebrate.

"You're a rich man, and millions of pounds of cross-sword are the kind you buy casually. Don't act like you haven't drunk good wine. ”

"I just haven't drunk good wine, or I'll go to China with you tomorrow, and you can open a bottle of wine and let the two of us drink it when we get there. ”

"How can I go to China with red wine? When the time comes, I will open a bottle of Moutai to entertain you, and the original taste is absolutely in line with your taste. ”

Toy is Russian, so the liquor made from pure grains is indeed to his taste.

"Also an 82-year-old original?"

"What's so good in '82, I'll open you a bottle of '97. The special model to celebrate Hong Kong's return to China tastes absolutely good. ”

"You're also a rich man, can you stop being so stingy?" Toy returned Yang Dongxu's words to him just now.

"It's not stingy, it's going to China to drink baijiu naturally, which is warm and characteristic hospitality. Yang Dongxu said without a red face and without a heartbeat.

"You're still as thick-skinned as ever. Toy glared at Yang Dongxu speechlessly.

Yang Dongxu didn't care at all, he was stared at a few times and there were a few bottles of 82-year-old Lafite, he really wanted to be stared at like this every day.

"The next time he comes to the manor, he will not be allowed to enter my cellar. Toy told the butler next to him.

But anyone can see that he is joking, if he is really taken away by Yang Dongxu The 52-year-old bottle of Romanée Conti, maybe he will be distressed.

After all, it's not a matter of money or not, and at the point where he and Yang Dongxu are now, they don't care about this little money at all, but the problem is that they can't buy such wine even if they have money.

As for the 82-year-old Lafite, it is certain that he was blackmailed with 4 bottles of depression. But it's just a little depressed, although the 82-year-old Lafite is now getting fewer and fewer, if he wants to find it, he can still find some to get back to collect.

"By the way, I remember that you also seem to like collecting wine bars, why do you want to blackmail me?" took out a bottle of 96-year-old Lafite and gave it to the butler to ask him to go to the decanter to prepare dinner and Shanghe, Toy remembered that Yang Dongxu seemed to be also a wine collector.

And the collection of good wine is much more than he estimated, you must know that when Zhou Ya was managing overseas business in a foreign country in the past, in addition to various investment enterprises, collecting is also one of the things she does, and red wine is a big category in the category of collecting things.

I think when he was still in Russia, he helped collect some good wine.

"Those wines are too expensive to drink. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Toy gritted his teeth and really wanted to hit someone......
