In my opinion, whether it is Chinese or Japanese food, including French food, the biggest secret to becoming a top-notch cuisine is the sense of ceremony.

Delicious dishes are available in every country, and cherished ingredients abound, but only by pretending to be forced can diners realize that scarcity is expensive.

I heard that the talented girl Lin Huiyin has to do a sense of ritual every time she composes poems at night. Bathing and burning incense, a cup of tea, a piano, and a thread-bound book......

Even if it's a bubble of,

It was also a bubble of self-soothing excrement.

The next day we depart for Bordeaux and stroll through the streets, the city as a World Heritage Site has not been renovated too much, and still retains the Louis XV style.

It's not interesting to take a turn, and head straight to the Lafite winery on the outskirts. Founded in 1763, it got its name from the highlands on the right bank of the Garonne River, and the word Lafite meant hill at the time.

After getting out of the car and looking around, Shen Feng was surprised to find that there were no other signs in the huge vineyard except for the small blue Lafite sign, not even a fence?

Everywhere is quiet, like Lafite's extremely elegant and meticulous character, waiting for the visit of wine lovers.

No one is allowed to enter without the consent of the Hutch office in Paris, and the headquarters will first strictly check the identity and conditions of the visitor, and then inform them of the day and when they can visit.

Of course, the Edward family, as a shareholder, is naturally not within the rules!

As soon as I walked outside the manor, a big tree covered the corner of the manor, and around the big tree, there was a beautiful lawn behind it, opposite the small pond and weeping willows seen on the Lafite label.

Although the workers and ladies who worked in the wine label are long gone, the persimmon tree in the garden in front of you, the moped parked by the pond, the quiet and rich land around you, and the white castle behind you all reveal the elegant, delicate, delicate, mellow and supple queen style here.

"The Rothschilds!"

Shen Feng looked at the family logo in front of him, and five arrows passed through the crown, representing the five sons of the world's most powerful family going hand in hand, uniting and working together to create brilliance.

For this mysterious family, "Currency Wars" predicts that this family is sitting on fifty trillion dollars in assets and even controls every move of the Federal Reserve!

From the beginning of the 19th century to the present day, the commercial field involved in more than 500 pages of introduction, there was once a family documentary, claiming to have recorded as many as 153 species of insects bearing the name of Rothschild!

There are 58 species of birds, 18 species of mammals, 14 species of plants, three species of fish and spiders, three islands, and countless banks and streets......

There are also more than 150 varieties of wines, and two of Bordeaux's five premier wines: Château Lafite and Château Mouton, are people's back gardens.

Seeing that Shen Feng was stunned, Edward explained: "The French branch that bought Lafite is Baron James, and the British branch that bought Mouton is Baron Natagne. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt a sense and said: "The most fundamental reason for the decline of an extremely large family with huge economic strength must be split!"

"The last century has been a process of dissolution of the Rothschild family, and important members began to expand their own territory, and no longer closely rally around the family headed by Meyer, and even kept all their assets in the family bank. ”

"Now it's divided into a number of small groups, and although they are all Rothschilds, many of them have even started to play for their countries. ”

Shen Feng nodded, now the most powerful in the world is faith, and the second is definitely the state machine.

Of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the so-called decline of people can still use Raffi as footwash!

After greeting the butler, I officially entered the wine cellar, and in front of me was the new oak barrels that were neatly stacked, along the structure of the octagonal wine cellar designed by the famous Spanish architect, arranged in a circle, quiet and mysterious.

All kinds of advanced winemaking equipment are readily available, and the wine cellar is almost completely open, except for one place where the iron door is closed. Through the fence, you can clearly see the thick dust on the bottles, which are all top wines, and any bottle is hundreds of years old.

It is said that until now, it has been made in wooden vats, usually fermented for one week and then skinned for two weeks, and the brewing method is quite simple, which is the traditional Bordeaux brewing method.

The finished wine is placed in brand new oak barrels and cultivated in underground cellars. There are two breweries in front of it, a barrel vault and a stainless steel brewery vault, which are a necessary fermentation step.

Wine tastings also take place here, with a barrel-based tasting table surrounded by white candles, very understated and traditional.

The sommelier took out the 95-year-old boutique, which is almost 3,000 euros, and it will be shipped back to the Chang'an Club, with a glass of at least 3,999 and an absolute 190,000 for the whole bottle.

Shen Feng was secretly amused, the legendary tall Lafite wine tasting was actually held directly in the gloomy wine cellar?

Let those circle of friends pretend to be embarrassed!

Take the glass, a quarter full, hold the bottom of the goblet and shake it gently to let the aroma of the wine fully release.

Put your nose a few inches away from the wine glass and smell the distance.

You have to stick your nose in the glass, the deeper the better, originally I didn't think it looked good, but in fact, this is the most respectful way to respect good wine.

It turns out that the older the high-quality products, the more subtle the smell is that is difficult to confirm?

The connoisseur is called: Thereisnorightorwronganswer!

Therefore, everyone's different sense of taste will smell different aromas, as long as the difference is very good, the more you pretend to be better.

When you're done, you spit it out directly into the small silver bucket next to you, you don't have to drink it, remember that this is wine tasting, not wine!

I think of the various gold identification rules I have seen, what to look at the hanging cup, look at the depth of the depression at the bottom of the bottle, look at the weight of the wine bottle, see whether the bottleneck packaging can be rotated, see whether there is a green female head at the mouth of the imported wine bottle, look at the barcode area code, look at the wine label, look at the wine stopper......

As long as you come in person, it's all blind!

The real Lafite has a long history and a wide range of products, with different packaging and labels in different eras.

The best way to buy real Lafite is not to learn all kinds of complicated identification and anti-counterfeiting skills, but to choose a truly credible purchase channel.

Do you have the money and leisure to fly all day long to come to the winery to buy in person, and you can still buy fake ones?

Leaving the cellar and coming to the real vineyard, the labor cost in France is too high, and it is basically harvested by machine. Shen Feng looked at the huge harvester not far away, which looked a bit like a Transformer, riding directly on the vine, shaking the grapes vigorously on both sides.

One by one, they were shaken down, simple and rough!

Then the grape stems are removed, and there are special machines to do this, the whole bunch of grapes is poured in, and the hula is passed through, and the stems come out from below, leaving only the fruit for winemaking.

I heard that there are also wineries that pour the whole bunch of grapes directly into the wine tank for fermentation, and different methods will bring different flavors to the red wine.
