371 The jewel in the crown of wine - Romanée Conti

As he was talking, a group of people came not far away, and soon approached Ridgeburg Ridge Vineyard in Henry Jayle, and the person who came spoke loudly outside the vineyard, interrupting Li Feng's lively chat.

Li Feng found that this group of people came from the Romanée Conti Garden, which was previously pointed out, and it was obvious that it should be the people of the Romanée Conti Vineyard, and the leader was a middle-aged man who had lost his head.

Li Feng couldn't help but think, what's going on, Romanée Conti Winery is also here, it's really lively.

As the person who came spoke, Li Feng found that both Henry Jia Ye and La Lu Lehua had restrained their smiling faces, which made Li Feng feel surprised.

"Obote, why are you here?" replied with a cold face.

"Laru, you still haven't changed. The visitor replied with a smug look and a smile.

"Hmph...", Lalulehua snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Robert, Michelle, why are you two here, why didn't you go to the winery? The visitor said to Robert Parker and Michelle Rowland again.

"Obote, long time no see, this time we were also invited, no, we are walking around here, I will go and see it when I have time, after all, this year's new wine is about to start brewing, for this year's new wine of Romanée Conti, we have been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

Robert replied with a smile, obviously introducing people to Li Feng and the others.

"John, this is the head of Château Romanée-Conti - Obote de Verand, Obote, this is St. John Lee, you can call 'John'. ”

Listening to Robert Parker's introduction, Li Feng thought to himself, sure enough, no wonder Henry Jia Ye and La Lu Lehua both showed cold faces. However, Romanée Conti, this is the crown jewel of wine.

……

Lalu will not talk about it, she was kicked out of the management of Romanée Conti by Obote de Veran a few years ago, you must know that as early as the 40s, the Lehua family owned half of the ownership of Romanée Conti Winery, Lalu was kicked out of management, and the grievances in his heart can be imagined.

As for Henry Jay, to be honest, Henry Jaye is indeed an alcoholic, and Henry Jaye is also a loyal pump of Romanée Conti. Well, while Henri Jayle's winemaking skills are unrivaled, Richburg and Cropacon are no less than Romanée-Conti.

However, Henri Jayle has always had a dream in his heart, that is, to be able to make a real Romanée Conti, which is probably one of the biggest dreams of every Romanée village and even Burgundy winemaker.

Henry Jayer's retirement is actually a retirement of last resort, which is ridiculous to say, it was the French government that forced Henri Jayle to retire, and when he was 73 years old in 95, Henry Jayel had to retire.

But in fact, since '95 he has been an advisor to Château Camus, keeping 30% of his vineyards in Ridgeburg and Kropacon for his own personal collection.

It can also be seen from here that Henri Jaye is actually reluctant to retire, in fact, the future generations have not been until 2001, when Henri Jaye was almost 80 years old, and he officially retired and did not make a bottle of wine, so the wine with the word "Henri Jayle" was not until 2001.

Until his death in 06, Henry Jayer's private collection has become the favorite of many wine lovers, after his death in 06, Henry Jayer's descendants have auctioned his private collection of nearly 1,000 bottles of red wine at an auction in 06.

As a result, nearly 1,000 bottles of red wine were auctioned for a sky-high price of 30 million euros, and 1,000 bottles of red wine were auctioned for 30 million euros in 06, more than 200 million yuan, which is really a crazy number, and the most expensive bottle is said to have been auctioned for 410,000 US dollars.

Similarly, the more time passes, the more expensive it is, after all, the more time passes, the less the amount, and Henry Jaye dies after all.

……

However, such a great winemaker has always had a wish in his heart, that is, he wants to enter the Grand Cru of Romanée-Conti and really make Romanée-Conti once, but this wish has never been realized.

Just like Michel Rolland, the master brewer from Bordeaux, he also has a plot of Bordeaux's top famous wineries in his heart, such as the dream of going to Lafite, Margaux and other famous wineries to brew once, and Henri Jaille is no exception.

In the winemaking world, Bordeaux's winemakers are represented by Michel Rolland, while Burgundy is naturally represented by Henri Jayle, and similarly, in Michel's heart, Bordeaux's red wine is the best, and in Henri Jayle's heart, Burgundy's red wine is the best, which is the simple hometown complex.

It is said that after his retirement, Henri Jayle once personally visited Obote de Veran and proposed that in a certain year's harvest season, Henri Jayle would preside over a Romanée-Conti winemaking, but the result was naturally not a good result, and was even ridiculed once, and he broke up unhappily.

After all, although Romanée Conti's professional winemakers do not have the name of Henri Jayle, they are also famous figures in the wine industry, and they are all top figures, so naturally they do not look down on you. It was also from that time that the relationship between Henri Jaille and Romanée-Conti deteriorated.

In a later interview with Henry Jia Ye, Jia Ye personally said that not being able to brew Romanée Conti once in person was a big regret in his life.

"Mr. John, I think this is St. John Lee, who has just acquired the Italian luxury group Gucci. As soon as Robert Parker's words fell, Obote de Veran, the head of the Romanée Conti, said with a smile.

"Hello, Monsieur de Veran, I am St. John Lee, and my friends call me 'John,' Romanée Conti, I have heard of it for a long time, but unfortunately, it is too hard to buy. Li Feng also replied with a smile.

"Monsieur John wants Romanée Conti, and I can make it my way to open the winery's private collection to you. ”

"Wow... Then I would like to thank Mr. de Veran for his generosity, thank you very much!"

"It's nothing, just hoping to make friends with Mr. John. ”

"I think we'll be good friends, won't we?"

"That's true..."

“…”

……

At this time, everyone walked out of the vineyard and stood on the field path and began to chat.

Although Lalu and Henry Jayer didn't treat Obot de Veran very well, their good upbringing allowed the two to chat with everyone, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, after all, they were all begging for a living in Romani Village, and they didn't look up and look down.

At this time, everyone's small talk can be said to be imaginative, but most of the people present are elites in the wine industry, and naturally the focus of the discussion is wine, and French wines are naturally the first to recommend the two major production regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy.

Among them, the reputation of the Bordeaux production area is even louder, and today's 5 famous vineyards and 8 famous vineyards in France are dominated by Bordeaux first-class famous vineyards, and the famous vineyards of Burken Land are not slowly known until after the new century in the eyes of those non-professionals.

Although, in the eyes of professionals, such as Romanée Conti, Château Le Hua, etc., are all wineries that do not lose their color to Bordeaux's 5 or 8 famous wineries, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Bordeaux is a little louder.

Now, as the grapes have been harvested and fermentation has begun, a group of people are starting to talk about what will happen to next year's new wines.

After hearing everyone's talk, Li Feng knew that last year's 96-year-old wine was recognized as very good, even comparable to the previous 82 and 86 years, and the 96-year-old wines of several wineries were able to leave a name in history, such as Robert Parker, the 'emperor of the wine industry', who once gave several wineries full marks.

Listening to these people's words, Li Feng began to move again, and the plan to collect 96-year-old red wine from major famous wineries began to brew in his heart.

……

Li Feng was ready to move in his heart, but this group of wine industry bigwigs didn't know what Li Feng was thinking. It's not about making money or anything, it's mainly about acquiring these top wines, which will be the best weapon for loading and forcing in the future.
