The first thing you see when you enter St. Oak Château is not the vines in the mountains, but the oak groves on the side of the Gironde, which are dense and tall enough to completely block the humid air from the Gironde River, making the vines of St. Oak grow better.

"At the moment, the winery grows Pinot Noir, which is more delicate, but Pinot Noir is very popular. Wood said triumphantly, pointing to a large field of vines in the distance.

Native to Burgundy, France, it has a long history of cultivation, and the earliest record of cultivation of Pinot Noir is in the 1st century AD. Pinot Noir is one of the most popular wines in the world.

This small grape ripens late, resulting in a delicate aroma with a rich, full-bodied, easy-to-eat flavor and a slightly almond aroma. When young, it has the aroma of fresh strawberries, black cherries, and when ripe, it shows a complex mushroom, small spikes, conical or cylindrical, with secondary spikes. While most Pinot Noirs are enjoyed within three to five years, the best Pinot Noir are matured in oak barrels and have the potential to age for decades. Pinot Noir is a representative of the delicate and elegant wine, which is pampered by strict requirements for climate, soil and topography.

Pinot Noir originated from France, very picky about the climate, its hometown of Burgundy in France performed the most perfectly, in the past two decades in Germany's Franconian, Rheinhesse, Arle region of Pinot Noir performance is more and more superior, there are also New World regions such as the United States of Oregon, New Zealand's Marlborough, Martinborough, Australia's Yarra Valley and other production areas to produce high-quality Pinot Noir wine.

"I remember that Château Lafite and Château Latour mainly used Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, do you think your winery will be better among them, and more able to control Pinot Noir?" Zeng Gong said, thinking that Wood's winery chose Pinot Noir was a wrong choice at all.

"Hehe, this is not my choice, but the tradition of Château Saint Oak, since 1885, when the French wine classification system was established, and even now there are still remnants of the old trees in the winery, they have existed for more than 100 years, and it is difficult to find such old plants in the whole of France. Wood said with a wry smile that if it weren't for the age of the trees, he would have even wanted to ship them to the United States for planting.

"Then what are you going to do? Really cut all these Pinot Noirs, which are particularly precious in the Mido District?" Although Zeng Gong thinks that Pinot Noir can't bring out its best when growing here, he also doesn't agree with this one-size-fits-all approach, in case a solution is found, making wine here with Pinot Noir can make a special taste. At that time, it was too late to regret it.

"So what do you say? Maybe it's really not a good place to grow Pinot Noir. Wood said dejectedly.

"Then why haven't the previous owners changed their varieties for more than a hundred years, is it because they are unwilling to spend a lot of money to renovate this place?" Zeng Gong asked rhetorically.

Wood shook his head, the people who can buy a large piece of land here to establish a winery are not bad money, more than a hundred years ago, they were all nobles, the winery can not only let them get good wine, have face among relatives and friends, but also a big toy in their hands, otherwise the Barak family will not always grow Pinot Noir native to Burgundy, and when it is renewed, they will even go to Burgundy to select good varieties.

"Then find an expert. Zeng Gong also felt speechless, and said weakly.

"I've already looked for a lot, and we have our own team of experts, and no one has been able to come up with an effective plan, and now we have to see if there will be a miracle in changing varieties. Wood looked a little desperate at the thought of what he had used.

"So, how about I recommend one to you?" Zeng Gong suddenly felt that Claude must be good, and thinking of Claude, his premonition became even stronger.

"Do you recommend it? Are you the experts in the ranch, they can raise cattle, but they are a real layman with this kind of grape. Wood shook his head like a rattle.

"Who said I ranched those guys, this guy is in Germany right now, I can call him if you need to. Zeng Gong shook his head, could it be that the agricultural experts he knew were all cattle breeders.

"Thank you, Zeng. Wood nodded in agreement, he'd been disappointed countless times anyway, and who cares about this one.

"Claude? I'm Zeng Gong. Seeing Wood's promise, Zeng Gong immediately dialed Claude's phone.

"Mr. Zeng, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to your ranch in a short time, I'm really sorry, let's have a chance to cooperate again, good luck." Claude said in a hoarse voice with a tired face.

"Claude, I already know your affairs clearly, I was thinking of visiting Leipzig in the next two days, but I didn't expect that I had a friend who had a difficult problem in Bordeaux, so it was delayed, I don't know if you have time, can you come to Bordeaux, although I know that this is a bit presumptuous. Zeng Gong said with a little apology that the matter of the German Claude brothers must be resolved as soon as possible, in case there are many dreams at night.

"I'm sorry, Zeng, I can't leave Leipzig, let alone France, for the time being. Claude said with a wry smile.

"What, have you been restricted from traveling?" Zeng Gong was shocked, he didn't expect things to develop so quickly, he originally wanted to play for a few more days.

"Well, yes, although my brother is always running our family's brewery, the real legal person is me, and this time not only me but also my brother are confined to the house, and the auction of the brewery is also on the agenda. Claude was a little reluctant, even heartbroken, he didn't expect that the small brewery that had lasted for hundreds of years would end like this, and he was really reluctant to do so.

"How's your brother's winemaking skills? Compared to you. Zeng Gong suddenly asked.

"Brewing skills, I think you're asking about beer brewing skills, now his level should be slightly higher than mine, what's the matter, Qinglian Ranch also wants to get involved in the beer industry?" Claude asked a little strangely.

"That's right, I suddenly felt that I should have a lot to gain from entering the beer industry. "So I'm ready to brew beer, and now there's just one person at the helm missing. Zeng Gong admitted very shamefully that he did have such an idea before, and after careful research, it only started recently.

"You think of my brother Schroeder?" (To be continued.) )
