367 Hometown of Romanée Conti

Robert Parker and Michelle Rowland, the two big names in the wine industry now, didn't say anything for the time being, saying that they wanted to go back and think about it, and temporarily skipped the issue of cooperation.

"John, why did you think of going to Burgundy, why didn't you think about Bordeaux?" Michel Rowland also knew where Li Feng was going at this time, and immediately joked with a smile.

"I want to, too, but Bordeaux's top châteaux are really troublesome, and their reputation is too good to be cost-effective, while Burgundy has no lack of reputation, and compared to the high cost of Bordeaux châteaux, it is much more cost-effective. Li Feng said with a smile.

In fact, whether it is Burgundy or Bordeaux, the top wineries have always been a scarce resource, and land is sky-high. However, Bordeaux's reputation is so great that when it comes to red wine, the Bordeaux wine region is always the first thing that comes to mind.

"Henry, I haven't seen him in a few years, he's retired a few years ago, it's a bit of a shame. ”

"Michelle, I've always heard that Henry Jaye is the 'God of Bacchus in Burkenland', so who is more powerful than you, the world's best winemaker, and him?" Li Feng quipped with a smile.

"Haha... John, you're asking Michelle a sore question. Robert Parker replied with a laugh.

"Oh... Why is that?"

"Michel's biggest regret in this life is that he has not been able to make a top heirloom like Lafite '82, or to create a top wine like Lafite, Romanée-Conti and so on.

While Michelle has been able to help many wineries around the world improve the quality of their wines, such a masterpiece needs to be in the right place at the right time.

However, Henry Jaye now has its own famous wine, such as Richburg with the word Henry Jaye after 76 years, and Henry Jayle's famous work, which is known as the "Grand Cru of the First Class Winery", which is a pain in Michel's heart. Robert Parker explained with a smile.

……

After listening to Robert's ridicule, Michelle Rowland, the top brewmaster, could only shrug his shoulders and pretend to be helpless, which made everyone laugh.

"Henry, this old guy shouldn't be thinking about selling his famous estate, right?" Michelle Rolland said to Li Feng with a smile.

"As far as I know, the only one under Henry Jay's is the Pahonto Winery, and the rest of the winery land doesn't seem to be his own, besides, Henry is now retired and old, so he has to think about it for future generations. Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Oh... That's right, John, the last thing you need is money. After listening to Li Feng's words, Michelle obviously understood, shrugged his shoulders and joked to Li Feng again.

Li Feng also knows that although Henry Jia Ye is very famous, he is still a winemaker in the final analysis, and he is not like Michel Rolland, who is a winemaking consultant for hundreds of wineries around the world, and Henry Jia Ye concentrates on being a consultant in his own winery and the cooperative Camus Winery.

Compared with ordinary people, Henry Jia Ye is also a rich man, maybe he still has millions of assets, but it is really impossible to become a billionaire.

And don't think that Henry Jayle's Richburg and Pahonto's wines are in the tens of thousands, but the yield is very small, and it is only in the best few hectares of Grand Cru in the center, in fact, most of the ordinary wines are still very cheap.

Richburg, including Richburg, which made Henri Jayle famous, is actually owned by the Mio Camus family, and Henri Jayle's winery, except for the Croba Honto vineyard, which is less than 1 hectare, is leased from the Mio Camus family, and half of the production belongs to the landlord's family.

The Mio Camus family had little interest in the vineyards, and the current head of Château Camus is Jean-Nicolas Miau, who inherited the estate from his father.

Of course, this heir does not mean that he has much affection for the winery, it is mainly a family inheritance responsibility, and the heir is lucky, who made the chief winemaker of the winery Henri Jayle, the god of wine in Burgundy, and now follows Henri Jaye to learn winemaking techniques.

……

It is only 2 or 300 kilometers from Paris to Dijon, the capital of the Burgundy region, so Li Feng's private plane arrived at Dijon Airport quickly, but unfortunately, it did not reach the airport at Yeqiu or even the Romani Village. However, it is also very close from Dijon airport to the village of Romani in Yechu.

After leaving the airport, there is already a car waiting, here I have to say, Yuntong's top service is really good, Li Feng contacted Yuntong yesterday, and confirmed before departure, and the rest of the itinerary has been well arranged.

No, after Dijon came out, he went directly to the convoy arranged by Yuntong, a small convoy of more than 10 people, and went directly to the best of the Burgundy wine region - Yeqiu Vaughn Romani Village.

The French describe Vaughan Romané as 'the best of Bourken', and if the Golden Hill is a moisturizing crown, then the Vaughn Romani village of the Night Hill is the most dazzling diamond in the crown.

The hometown of the famous Romanée Conti, and in fact, the small Romanée village is not only the brand of Romanée Conti, but also the concentration of 8 Grand Cru and 14 first-class wineries in the Burgundy region, which is almost synonymous with the French Burgundy wine region. This place in Romani Village is really a place of bells and souls.

Similarly, the purpose of Li Feng's trip is also here, and the famous village of Vaughan Romani, Henry Jayle's Kropacon and Fort Ridge are all gathered here. Of course, the most well-known village of Romanée is naturally Romanée Conti, known as the 'King of Red Wine'.

……

When Li Feng's motorcade slowly drove onto the country road, Li Feng knew that he should be almost at his destination, and it had to be said that after coming out of Dijon, Li Feng saw the most vineyards, which was the most common scenery in the Burgundy region.

As long as you go out of the city, you can see vineyards in the fields, naturally, Li Feng also knows that most of the vineyards here are the most ordinary, maybe the kind of dozens of dollars a bottle in which supermarket you are in is such an ordinary land.

It is only more than 20 kilometers from Dijon to the village of Romani, and it is almost at the destination in less than half an hour.

"Boss, the Romani village has arrived. Li Feng sat in the back seat of the car with Wang Siqing and Zhang Min, and Wang Jianguo in the front row spoke.

"Oh, it's finally here. Li Feng smiled and said to the two women beside him.

As the car stopped and the door opened, Li Feng pulled the two women out of the car, and at the same time, Li Zekai, Robert Parker, Michelle Rowland and others walked down in the front and rear cars.

As far as the eye can see, it is a typical French countryside village, with low-rise bungalows, and who would have thought that this is the shining jewel of the famous wine kingdom - Vaughn Romani.

From a distance, surrounded by lush vineyards, a sense of relaxation and happiness arose. I thought to myself, this is the hometown of the famous Romanée-Conti.
