Chapter 1197: It's better to age gracefully

Château Lusalus, the absolute king of the Sauternes wine region in the southeast of Bordeaux, is located next to the River Shilon, a tributary of the Garonne River that runs through the Bordeaux wine region.

The location is unique because of the difference in water temperature between the two nearby rivers and the fact that the altitude and soil quality are the most favorable for the growth of noble rot grapes: the hill on which the castle is located is the highest position in the Sauternes noble rot sweet white wine region, and it is also the most suitable location for the growth of noble rot grapes.

The quality of the grapes produced at a lower altitude and from a distance of one or two kilometers is said to be not as good as that produced in the vineyards of Château Lysalus!

Just over this square kilometer of land, there are vineyards and wineries in this vicinity, but they are not called Lysalus, and they do not have the glory and characteristics of the king of wine.

For French wines, Château Lysalus is the supreme and unique Grand Cru Cru that surpasses the five Cru Cru that currently have Lafite, Latour and Margaux.

In 1855, four of the top five wineries were rated within 100 kilometers of this area, although the original selection was limited, but it also shows the particularity of this region: all the way to the vineyards and wineries, and within a few tens of kilometers nearby, there are few wineries that are cheap, as for the Château Lysalus, it is the crown here!

Zhang Nan came here not only because it was an inheritance given to Adjani by himself and his housekeeper, but more importantly, because he really came to find the crown this time: not the crown of wine, but the crown on the heads of the kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

According to the inscription on the cross of Jacques Molay, the knights had deposited some of the Order's common belongings in this winekeeping!

Coincidental, such a coincidence!

Nicole had used a lot of ulterior means to get this winery before, just out of the idea that what the family members liked should be their own home, but they didn't think that the text on the cross clearly recorded that one of the property transfer and burial sites was in the main castle of the Igan territory.

Château Lysalus, also known as Château d'Egan, is perched on the slopes of Sotelna, where the main castle of the Igan territory was located 700 years ago.

Of course, grapes were planted near the castle in the early 14th century, but not today's world-famous château, whose buildings were only completed around the 16th century.

However, the castle was built on the foundations of the castle, and the original castle construction dates back to the 12th century, and the old castle was already in existence for at least a hundred years when the Knights Templar were destroyed.

The castle can be seen from afar, and the left bank of the Garonne River has no mountains and valleys, but gentle slopes, and from a distance it seems that the castle is not particularly conspicuous: all along the way are old castle-like buildings, and those buildings are all among the best in the world.

However, when the convoy arrived at the parking lot in front of the main entrance of the winery, Zhang Nan specially reminded that he did not drive directly into the castle, but got off in the parking lot outside the castle - as soon as he got out of the car, Charlize Theron saw the surrounding situation clearly and exclaimed: "Brother, this place is so spectacular!"

Zhang Nan smiled, "It should be more beautiful in autumn." ”

It's the end of January, the coldest season in Bordeaux, and the vineyards are bare, certainly not as beautiful as the ones in the harvest season.

As for the spectacular.

From here, you can see the vineyards on all sides, and the wineries in the four directions of the south, east, and west are all at your feet, so you can immediately feel the special height of the hilly area.

Seeing that she was still looking around, Zhang Nan said again: "What, you also want a winery like this?"

The girl smiled exaggeratedly wryly, "Forget it, I don't want to."

Sister Nicole has provoked the anger of the public, and the French are going crazy, but fortunately it was revealed that the new owner of the winery is Sister Lisa's youngest son, otherwise we would have been surrounded by protesters this time!"

France's No. 1 Château was eaten alive by an American consortium, and although it was still managed by its original owners, the proud Gallic rooster was almost hysterical.

Thankfully, it was only when they learned that the actual new owner of the château was their beloved "Rose de France" that the wave of protests had dissipated.

The small winery Chariz Theron can't look down on it, but if you go to the idea of playing the first-class Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Rouge or Château Mouton, it is estimated that even the French president may jump out and intervene.

As Michel Serre, a member of the French Academy and a contemporary French philosopher, praised two years ago: "Château Lysalus does not belong only to the Lysalus family, it belongs to France, to Europe and to the whole world." Like Chartres Cathedral, Ravel's Bolero, Monet's Water Lilies, it belongs to you and to me. ”

Well, the castle has changed owners, but luckily the new owner is Isabelle Adjani, otherwise God knows what would happen to you with the French, who are idle and playing on strikes.

The vineyard hillside in winter is nothing to look at, not as beautiful as the woods, Zhang Nan's attention quickly turned to the position of an open window on the side of the second floor of the outer wall of the wine castle.

In winter, the other windows are closed, except that one is just halfway open.

Zhang Nan smiled knowingly: the amorous Isabelle Adjani was standing in front of the window looking at her own man who got out of the car.

For the past two years, Adjani has either lived in New York or on an estate near Paris, and she is only visiting the winery for the second time - winter is not a good time to go on a holiday at the winery, which is no warmer than near Paris in the north.

She returned to New York when Zhang Nan was in Austria, and this time she arrived in France some time earlier than Zhang Nan, which happened to be staggered with the time when he returned to New York.

Adjani didn't have any children with her on this trip, and Zhang Xingchen's child will be in New York with his two sisters, which is also a temporary sequelae of the war with Anglo American some time ago.

As for why she wanted to go back to France, Zhang Nan never asked, and naturally someone would tell him - she still has a child, and as a mother, she sometimes has to take care of it.

......

Facing the sky, Adjani, who is almost 37 years old, looks ten years younger than her actual age, and the French rose, which no longer uses any superfluous cosmetics, is favored by God.

Moreover, Zhang Nan also reminded her to stay away from those plastic surgeons in the future.

In this regard, Adjani once said to him in private: In the future, she will be old, and Zhang Nan will still be so young, so what should I do?

Zhang Nan told her with a smile: "Instead of letting yourself become facial paralysis, it is better to age gracefully." ”

By the way, if there are plastic surgeons and beauticians who dare to stick needles and use knives on Adjani's body in the future, then they will definitely let the other party's whole family do an upgraded version and a full set of cosmetic surgery.

It's still not charged!
