That's right, France, romantic France, home to some of the world's best, most well-known and most expensive wineries and wineries.

When it comes to red wine in France, we have to mention two regions that produce red wine, Bordeaux and Burgundy, even though Dong Shanhe has never been there.

Wait, Dong Shan suddenly thought of another red wine specialty area, the champagne area, well, but it's sparkling red wine,

Dong Shanhe has to admit that at this stage, French red wine is synonymous with the world's red wine, whether it is La Faelatu or Mouton Margaux, they are all famous wineries, even if Dong Shanhe is confident that his winery can surpass these world's top wineries, but Dong Shanhe also knows that this time will definitely not be too short, not to mention ten or twenty years.

In order to intercept the shortcut, Dong Shanhe thought of the most stupid way, that is, to buy two wineries in France. Bordeaux is the first, Burgundy is the first, so that you can make the perfect red wine by virtue of your geographical advantages.

And at that time, France will also pinch its nose and admit or even promote it for itself, but at that time, it may only be advertised that this is a red wine produced in France, as for Dong Shanhe, where to stay where it is cool.

Dong Shanhe stood on the soil of Bordeaux, accompanied by Smith, who had been out of England for several days, and beside him stood a man from a year ago.

"Boss, this is the owner of the winery we are buying, Henri Hollande. Smith pointed to a young man in his twenties next to him.

"Hello!" "Hello!" Dong Shanhe shook hands with this man named Henry.

As for why he sold his ancestral winery, Dong Shanhe didn't care about this, and it was not a particularly large winery, it was only more than 100 hectares, less than 200 hectares.

In fact, this winery is not small, Château Lafite is only 150 hectares, and this unknown Château Henri has 200 hectares, which shows that this Henry's ancestor is also very rich.

Bordeaux, a city and port in southwestern France, is located on the lower reaches of the Garonne River, one hundred kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean.

Bordeaux is the capital of the Aquitaine region and the Gironde province in southwest France, and is a strategic location on the Atlantic coast of Europe, the port of Bordeaux is the nearest port connecting West Africa and the American continent in France, and is the railway hub of southwest Europe.

This is also one of the reasons why Dong Shanhe chose here, foie gras, the three top ingredients in the Western food world, truffle, foie gras, caviar, so it is easy to say that the fancy for Bordeaux does not simply come from red wine, of course, red wine is also very important.

Bordeaux is located in a typical temperate oceanic climate zone, warm and humid throughout the year, with the most suitable climate for grape growth, and the perennial sunshine has made Bordeaux form a large vineyard, and the wine is famous all over the world, the most famous is the wine of Bordeaux.

Victor Hugo said: "It's a peculiar city, original, maybe unique, and if you combine the cities of Versailles and Antwerp, you get Bordeaux." ”

Bordeaux is the world's largest wine country, and it is most famous for its wines. Bordeaux is the largest of France's three major wine regions, with more than 9,000 vineyards and chateaux castles in Bordeaux alone.

Boer has produced nearly 900 million bottles of wine for many years, and AOC wine production accounts for a quarter of the AOC wine production in France, of which 90% is red wine, 10% is dry white wine and sweet white wine, with more than 50 varieties and more than 300 brands.

Each wine estate in Bordeaux has a different story, and the vast majority of wine is produced in a family estate, with vineyards and cellars, and the so-called estate wine refers to the wine that grows, harvests, ferments, ripens and bottles the wine.

The three rivers of the Gironde, the Garonne and the Dordogne divide Bordeaux into three parts: the left bank, the right bank and the two seas, the area of the Girunde and the southwest of the Garonne is called the "left bank", the northeast of the Girunde and the Dordogne is called the "right bank", and the area between the Garonne and the Dordogne is called the "between the two seas", the area is vast, 85 miles from east to west, more than 70 miles from north to south, with nearly 110,220 hectares of vineyards and an average annual production of about 900 million bottles.

The grape region on the left bank is divided into two regions, Médoc and Graf, and the Médoc is divided into six villages, including Saint-Estève, Pauillac, Saint-Julien and Margaux from north to south, among which Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien, and Saint-Estève, are the hometown of famous wines, and more than eighty percent of the famous wineries are in these four villages, Château Osin and Château Cheval Blanc are in Saint-Emilion on the right bank, and Château Petus is in Pomerol.

Bordeaux's official red grape varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Verdeau, Malbec, Carmenere, and the main official white grape varieties are Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, with Cabernet Sauvignon being the main red grape variety on the left bank and Merlot and Cabernet Franc being the main red grape varieties on the right bank.

Although the Henry Winery purchased by Dong Shanhe is also in the Médoc, Dong Shanhe will not be afraid of those wineries, but the place where he is located is a little remote and almost out of the Médoc area.

"Okay, let's sign a contract!" Dong Shanhe directly instructed Smith and said.

This place is really good, it is in the core area of Bordeaux, if it is not for his own money, it is impossible to take it from Henri Hollande, you must know that others have come out of 150 million US dollars, Dong Shanhe Dong Shanhe directly came to more than 200 million.

For a loser like Henri Hollande, it doesn't matter who sells it to, just who gives more money, and what is sold to the Chinese is unorthodox, the Bordeaux wineries are not French, and few of the six major wineries are French.

After signing the contract, Dong Shanhe smiled happily Even if he didn't invite Ferguson back in Europe, it didn't matter, it was a big deal to invite a less famous one, at most, it would be a sensation, and there was nothing else, but this winery in the Bordeaux Médoc region was his lifelong family business.

"Smith, how did the winery in Burgundy go?" Dong Shanhe asked Smith again.

"Boss, it's pretty much the same in Burgundy, I promise you're satisfied. "Dong Shanhe said before, don't be afraid to spend more money, you must buy a larger area and a better location.

"Then tell me, what kind of winery can make me satisfied?" Dong Shanhe asked very curiously, ordinary Smith would not be like this.

"Boss, the first thing to mention in Burgundy is to mention the Romanée-Conti winery, which is located in the village of Vaughan Romani. The village was very small, less than twenty hectares in size. Smith gushed.

"Wait, you're saying we bought a winery in the village of Romanée?" Dong Shanhe almost exclaimed, considering that the soul of Bordeaux, Count Alexandre Lysalus, had mentioned that in his house, he could only talk softly and respectfully about the fantastic wine of Romanée Conti, and Romanée Conti was one of the six wineries in the village of Vaughn Romanée.

"How is it possible for the boss? It is impossible for the six wineries in the village of Vaughn Romani to be sold to the outside world, even if they are ten times the price. "Dong Shanhe wants to spend ten times the price, it is a loser.

"Then tell me which winery you are buying. Dong Shanhe asked with a sigh of relief.

"Owner, the one we bought is called Romané Winery. Smith is very excited about this result.

Although the United States is also famous for its red wine, the Americans are still attracted to French red wine, and Burgundy is one of them.

"Wait, you say it's Romanée Winery, what does it have to do with Romanée Conti, what does it have to do with Vaughn Romanie Village?"

"Boss, in fact, this is the case, Vaughn Romanie Village is a small village, but Romanie Village is a big village, in fact, many people don't know the difference between Vaughan Romanie and Romani, so in the eyes of many people, Romanie and Vaughn Romanie are similar, and Romanie Winery is the largest winery in Romanie Village. Dong Shanhe only understood when he heard Smith say this.

The village of Romanée is almost 150 hectares and has eight Grand Cru and four Premier Cru wineries, and the Château Romanée, which we purchased, is a Grand Cru Château.

"So few?" Dong Shanhe felt that a village of one hundred and fifty hectares would not have only twenty-two wineries, but when he thought of the location here, it was not surprising.

"The Romani vineyard we started with is the smallest winery in the whole village, only one hectare in size. Smith was interrupted by Dong Shanhe before he could finish speaking.

"How big do you say? One hectare, how can it be such an area?" "One hectare, only fifteen acres of land, this is more area, how many bottles of red wine can be produced?

You must know that Pinot Noir has a small production, only one-third of Cabernet Sauvignon, and now you tell yourself that the winery is only one hectare, which is too little.

"Yes, the boss only has one hectare, don't dislike this less, if you don't buy this winery, some people will buy it!"

"Okay!" Dong Shanhe could only nod and admit it, this is also the result of Smith's work, who made the area of Romanée Village not large, even the area of Romanée Conti Winery is only two hectares, and the annual output is only more than 4,000 liters, which is not much better than himself, Dong Shanhe firmly believes that after his own catalysis, the quality of his winery will definitely surpass Romanée Conti.

"How did you buy it?" Dong Shanhe asked curiously.

"Although the owners of Château Romané are a very old family, the Riesabelle family is not only a family, but they are not only running wineries, and the aftermath of the financial crisis has not been easy for us to encounter until now!"

Dong Shanhe couldn't help but complain, "How long is it??Is it two thousand years?"

Even spent 400 million US dollars to buy this winery, Smith did not tell Dong Shanhe directly, for fear that Dong Shanhe would be confused at that time.

But this opportunity is rare, it can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you really have doubts, someone will definitely buy it.

After signing the contract in Bordeaux, Dong Shanhe flew from southwest France to Burgundy in the northeast overnight.

In Jinqiu, Dong Shanhe met the old master of Rizebere, an old man who was about to die, but his vision was very sharp, and he didn't want to sell it to Dong Shanhe after seeing Dong Shanhe.

In the end, it was Dong Shanhe who used the old method to gain the trust of the old man, and for the old man, it is the most important thing to be able to pass on this winery perfectly.

Dong Shanhe had no choice but to let the old man taste the red wine he brought from Napa Valley, and the old man disdained the red wine from the United States in front of him, let alone the American wine, even if it was Bordeaux red wine, the old man was disdainful, so what was the big reputation? In terms of quality and taste, it was also said that the Romani village in Burgundy was the best.

"What do you mean, let me be your sommelier for free?" said the old man very unceremoniously.

As the most famous taster in the entire Burgundy region, the old man can improve the level of a winery with just one sentence, of course, this is only for wineries below the second grade, and the first and special wineries are not so easy to upgrade, just like the Médoc region of Bordeaux, two hundred years ago it was one of the five major wineries, and now two hundred years have passed, there is one more Grand Cru winery, which is enough to show the difficulty of upgrading.

Dong Shanhe is very glad that he bought a special winery, so his goal is not to upgrade, but to go directly to the world's first, kick the Romanée Conti in front of him, and then sit on it himself.

"Old man, where do you say, I just want to invite you to taste the red wine I brewed myself. Dong Shanhe didn't think that the old man in front of him was so hateful, he was just an old man who was about to die, and he didn't know him in general.

After the first sip, the old man's eyes changed, and then he spent half an hour alone and drank only three glasses.

"In the future, this winery will be handed over to you, my children and grandchildren are not filial, no one wants to take over the winery, there will be problems in business, I hope you can make persistent efforts and must surpass Romanée Conti." "The old man's lifelong dream is to surpass Romani Conti in the Romani Garden, but this opportunity is very slim, and now he has met Dong Shanhe and drank Dong Shanhe's red wine, he knows that his opportunity has come, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, it will definitely be impossible in the future.

"Don't worry, I promise that within ten years, Romané-Conti will kick it down and put Romanée in the first place in Burgundy. Dong Shanhe said confidently.

The old man nodded, and then signed the contract that Dong Shanhe had brought over.
