Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Fu Zhengyi was dragged by Fu Mingting to the grape plantation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Towards the end of October, the harvest of the Dicomar vineyard is coming to an end, and less than five acres of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes remain unharvested, as this one was reserved for the Château de Comar to make sparkling wine.

Looking at the low vines that looked like shrubs in the plantation, Fu Mingting couldn't help but be disappointed, picked one casually and stuffed it into her mouth, and immediately made a bitter face.

The old butler who came with him was supposed to stop him, but he was a little late in speaking, so he had to explain with a smile that the varieties here were not suitable for direct consumption.

Seeing that Fu Zhengyi was laughing, Fu Mingting didn't do it. "Justice, help me translate! I'm like an idiot here who can't understand anything......"

"The housekeeper said that the grapes here are not suitable for direct consumption, because these grapes are all varieties cultivated for winemaking, and the age of this piece of trees is thirty years, and it is estimated that it will take another three or five years to eradicate all ......."

Looking at the scope that Fu Zhengyi was referring to, Fu Mingting was stunned. "Cut down, won't it be harvested for many years?"

France, especially in the Bordeaux region, these wineries have a long history of viticultural skills, and each winery has its own unique breeding technology. Black cherry and mineral notes, but there is a big difference in the age of the original wine compared to that of Château Latour, so Château Dicomar cannot be classified as a Premier ......"

Hearing this, Fu Mingting said strangely. "Wait, is the level of this winery you mentioned important, and the other thing is that this Château Latour is very famous?"

Fu Zhengyi didn't have much research on French red wine, just because Li Xueyao studied French and was a French translator by profession, so he had some contact with red wine, and the 82-year-old Lafite naturally had never drunk it, and he only knew a few of the eight top wineries, so he had to ask the housekeeper and introduce it to Fu Mingting at the same time.

Listening to Fu Zhengyi's translation, the shock in Fu Mingting's expression became more and more obvious, and she soon couldn't help but open her mouth. "Isn't it? What we call champagne in China can only be called 'sparkling wine'?"

"Yes, only wines from Champagne can be called Champagne, and no other region can use the name 'Champagne'!"

Fu Mingting was stunned. "Oh my God! How can there be so much attention to French wine? Isn't it just a wine, and as for what needs to be known so much? What grass is mixed with leather and vanilla, and what truffle mushrooms and red cherries are mixed with minerals, who has the ability to figure out this?"

"It is said that the best tasters can taste dozens of brands, every wine in 50 years! Even the winemaker of Dicoma has an annual salary of up to 2 million French francs, and it is because his family has served the Saluces family for 150 years, so that his children continue to inherit their father's business and stay, according to the agreement, if the other party is no longer willing to serve the Dicoma group after five years, then I need to find a new winemaker to take charge......

Fu Mingting held her forehead with one hand and looked like she was about to faint. "Oh my God, aren't the tasters in these French wineries more discerning than dogs?"

"The annual salary of the top wine taster is tens of millions, and the annual expenditure of the winery on this is as high as 3 million French francs, and only after the appraisal and recommendation of the tasters can the red wine of a certain year be confirmed whether it can get a premium!"

Sitting under the parasol, tasting different vintages of Dicoma Castle brand red wine, listening to the old housekeeper's understanding of the customs here, the history of winemaking, and the inheritance of major wineries, it is an interesting story related to red wine.

Seeing that the old housekeeper stood up and bowed and left, Fu Mingting shook her head and sighed. "I really didn't expect that there would be so many things to say in a bottle of red wine......"

"The butler said, if you really want to hear about red wine, he can tell you a few days and nights without repeating the same, this old man has served the Salouses family of the Dikoma Group all his life, his father and grandfather are the stewards of the Dikoma Castle, and his daughter works in the winery, so it can be said that his family is attached to the Dikoma Castle, and he himself hopes to be able to stay after the expiration of the five-year contract!"

Fu Mingting was surprised. "Hey, could it be that you bought this castle and are really going to be a big slave owner?"

"Why are you saying this so ugly? The old man's family is just accepting employment, and they are not really selling themselves, and if you provoke him, he can immediately take more than half of the employees here to talk to the union to talk to you, and sealing this place is just a matter of minutes! Foreign countries are not like domestic countries, the authority of the trade union is really not allowed to be provoked, and if you want to dismiss an employee during the contract period, unless the other party has a clear handle and does not dare to toss, otherwise the employer will have to pay the price as soon as the union comes out......

Fu Mingting was just about to speak, but saw that Fu Zhengyi's eyes were a little wrong, and she turned her face to find that the old housekeeper who had just left was actually walking this way with a woman who was wearing a hunting suit and was thin, but she was a head taller than the old housekeeper, so she stood up with Fu Zhengyi and asked in a low voice Who is this woman?

It hurts a little to see the woman's head pay justice, and tell my cousin that this woman's name is Delphine, the daughter of the richest man in France, and her family manages the LVMH group, and the most famous of them is Louis Vuitton.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet approached, Fu Mingting was surprised. "Isn't it?

"Well, if you want to buy a LV bag, you can ask her for help, but the most expensive of this brand is just like that, and it is still difficult to match Hermes in terms of price and grade......"

Although Fu Zhengyi's last sentence was heard by Delphina, the word 'Hermes' made her a little wary, and because she couldn't understand Chinese, she simply asked Fu Zhengyi after greeting, why did he mention the brand 'Hermes' before?

The agreement reached in Jinling before, Fu Zheng did not pay any price, so he angrily repeated the original words.

The reserved smile on Delphina's face immediately vanished. "Hermes was originally just a harness!"

"LV was founded seventeen years later than Hermes......"

Delphine blackened her face. "LV is a luxury that started with bags!"

"It's just a suitcase, at that time a birch box could be regarded as high-end and luxurious, not to mention that Hermes came out of Paris much earlier than LV......"

Before Fu Zhengyi's words could be finished, an enraged Delphine shouted. "LV's current sales are higher than Hermes!"

"But the problem is that Hermes is the top brand in the luxury industry, and LV has increased sales through quantity, and if it is purely based on sales, maybe the wheat produced in our country can also be labeled as a 'luxury product'......"

"You, you, you're stealing concepts!"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you......"

The conversation between the two was extremely fast, and before Fu Mingting could react, she found that Delphine was starting to go crazy, tugged on Fu Zhengyi's sleeve, and cautiously asked what was going on?

told Fu Mingting the reason for the dispute, Fu Mingting was a little crying and laughing. "Justice, she is also the daughter of the richest man in France, and you don't have the ...... to treat guests like this"

The origin of the contradiction between the two sides, Fu Zhengyi didn't have time to explain to Fu Mingting, so he had to find an excuse casually. "I'm worried that this is a bad guest coming to the door, this woman is not simple, she has a high IQ and EQ, I would rather leave her in anger now than receive her here......"

When Fu Zhengyi was talking to Fu Mingting, Delphine took a closer look at her appearance, and when he finished speaking, he sighed and relaxed. "Fu! You succeeded in making my good mood go away......

Fu Zhengyi said. "I only got here last night, don't tell me it's a coincidence!"

Delfina closed her eyes and patted her chest, waiting for her breath to calm down before speaking. "I've been here for two weeks on vacation! My stables are near here, and this morning the boy of the Saluces family happened to meet me, and I realized that the castle was closed in vain because someone was going to come and stay, and I came to see it out of curiosity! I was not so bored, and sent someone to guard here......"

Seeing that it was time to eat, he asked the butler to bring lunch here, and took a bottle of sparkling wine from 1902 from the cellar.

Sitting under the parasol, Delfina wondered. "Isn't it? a 1902 Dicomar sparkling wine?"

"This can be considered the wine of the town, right?"

Delfina nodded with a strange expression, and after the old butler came over with the bottle of sparkling wine, she took it and studied it carefully for a while, and then handed the wine to Fu Zhengyi. "It's really a sparkling wine from 1902 in the Dicoma family! The label doesn't use 'champagne' but a standard sparkling wine, and it seems that the Saluces family still abides by the Madrid Agreement, even if it is only for family members to taste, it still prints the label in strict accordance with the agreement, which is very good!"

Madrid Agreement?

What the heck?

Fu Zhengyi suddenly had some bad premonitions in vain...... (To be continued.) )
