"This year's sunshine has been very favourable for Burgundy, and it has been a very good year, with many vineyards already harvesting and our vineyards starting a little later, about a week later. ”

The smile on Obert's face when he talked about the vineyard could not be expressed in words, as if he had seen his own child achieve some kind of admirable achievement.

Harvesting grapes a little later than they ripen is an open secret at Château Conti, and almost all winemakers know that this will help them make wines, but no one can handle the late grapes as well as Aubert.

The secret is not afraid that people will know, and if you know it, you can't understand it.

Wu Qian shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, I won't stay in France for long, it's a pity that I can't live in Vaughan Romanie for a long time, I came here to appreciate the style of the top winery, by the way...... Negotiate things. ”

Wu Qian said, "Discuss things", and Aubert and Whiten chuckled in their hearts, and the thing they were worried about finally came!

They are just afraid that the new shareholders will have special requirements.

Even in Obert's view, Wu Qian came back today, mainly to talk about things, what interest can such a young man have in a wine farm, and there are no nightclubs, bars and KTVs here, only vines, farmers and wine.

Just when Wu Qian wanted to speak, Aubert raised his hand and preemptively said, "Mr. Wu, forgive me for being rude, interrupt." ”

"Until I know how well you know about the wine industry, I will vote against all your claims on the winery and the interest in the shares, so I would like to ask you to answer me a few questions first. ”

What an industry is most afraid of is that the layman guides the insider, so nothing can be done!

Wu Qian smiled awkwardly, he had just been in contact with Sir Alex Ferguson some time ago, and he understood the general temperament of this old man, nothing else, just an old child, willful.

He was not at all annoyed, and with someone like Aubert in charge of the winery, it was no wonder that Romanée Conti had never declined since his heyday, and rightly so.

It's one thing not to be angry, but Wu Qian's heart is a little empty, he knows too much, too little, about wine, and he votes completely by his tongue.

Without giving Wu much time to think, Aubert asked, "Mr. Wu, do you know what is the most appropriate day to harvest grapes according to biodynamics?"

Biodynamic is a set of ideas proposed by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924, and it is a very characteristic farming method.

The biodynamic approach considers soil fertility, plant growth, and the flora and fauna of the vineyard as a whole, emphasizing biological diversity and reducing human intervention.

In this philosophy, the growth of grapes should follow the laws of the universe and nature, from cultivation, pruning and leaf pruning to harvesting, in accordance with the biodynamic calendar, in order to increase the vitality of the grapes.

Almost all of Burgundy's 10th largest château uses this philosophy to grow grapes, but the concept is understood in a shallow way.

Veteran wine lovers will have a certain understanding of this set of rules, and it will be on their lips as a high-level topic, but for Boss Wu, this is like a book from heaven.

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently, in fact, under his real cheeks, he was already in a state of bewilderment.

"God's special 'biodynamic method', make a hair, really have to be a major shareholder, otherwise before making a decision, you have to answer questions, it's too difficult. ”

For Wu Qian, this kind of problem is like asking a child who only knows simple addition and subtraction operations to solve the Olympiad equation, which is many levels behind.

Just when Wu Qian was very depressed in his heart, someone next to him spoke.

"In the biodynamic calendar, when the Moon moves into the fire signs, namely Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, it is the day of fruit, when the essence of the vines is concentrated in the fruit, suitable for grape picking. ”

Fang Nanqi replied for Wu Qian, with a confident face, her confidence was not pretended, and she was still unsatisfied, and continued.

"At the same time, the leaves are suitable for watering, the flowering days should allow the vines to grow freely, and the root days should be suitable for tilling or pruning. ”

After speaking, Fang Nanqi turned sideways to Wu Qian and said, "Boss, you have told me this knowledge before, I don't know if I answered it correctly." ”

Wu Qian didn't know if it was right or not, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Obert nodded slightly with a smile, and he gave Fang Nanqi a thumbs up with his backhand.

"Yes, that's right, I know how to summarize and draw inferences, which is worthy of praise!"

With a smile on his face, Albert was able to answer the biodynamic method, at least he was sure that he was not a layman, and he smiled: "There are many old vines in Australia, the oldest of which is more than 100 years old, and what is the age of the old vine vine vines in Burgundy?"

Château Romanée Conti is famous for its penchant for making wine from old vines, which are low in yield and high in quality, and other wineries can make a bottle of wine from one vine, while Domaine Conti wants grapes from two or three vines.

Fang Nanqi and Wu Qian glanced at each other, then turned their heads to look at Obert.

"So far, there is no clear international definition of the specific age of the 'old vine', and in the more arid climate regions such as California and Australia, the grape grows more slowly, and the vine can only be called old vine when it is 80 or even 100 years old. ”

"In the more humid Bordeaux region, vineyards are often replanted and the trees are thirty or forty years old. ”

"As for Burgundy...... The vines in the Gardens of Kanti are about fifty-five to sixty years old, and I think this is enough to be called old vines. ”

Orbit didn't smile this time, but frowned slightly, not because Fang Nanqi didn't answer well, but because she was too good and had a wide range of knowledge, this question could get additional points.

"It's hard to ...... It seems that he came prepared, but this will not work!" was the monologue in Aubert's mind.

"What are the small crystals in wine and how do they affect the wine?"

"It was a tartaric acid crystal, and it had no effect on the taste and quality of the wine!"

"What is Burgundy's use to avoid hail?"

"It will shoot particles into the clouds to prevent hail from forming, and prevent disasters from happening in the first place!"

"Some wineries bring sheep into the vineyard, why?!"

"Eat weeds, pull manure, fertile land!"

......

It was a unique meeting of shareholders.

In the entire conference room, there were only two voices left, and everyone's heads shook back and forth with the sounds, one to look at Obert, and the other to look at Fang Nanqi.

The more Aubert spoke, the more excited he became, Fang Nanqi replied faster and faster, the voices of the two gradually increased, and when it came to the back, both of them stood up, their hands propped up on the conference table, leaning forward, their faces slightly red.
