Chapter 24: Exceptional Annual Output

Governor Zhu staggered home with his car keys and the box of gifts. Since his daughter and lover had not come back from going out to dinner, Zhu Guangji turned on the light in the living room, then put the wooden box on the table, found a flathead screwdriver, and gently pried open the wooden board of the outer packaging.

As the "creaking" sound spread, I saw a bottle of red wine with the label of Potus Winery lying quietly in the filling in the wooden packaging.

Governor Zhu couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes, and then took the red wine in his hand with a focused expression and looked at it carefully. It's good that he doesn't look at it, but his eyelids jumped when he saw it!

"The 1995 vintage? Exceptional annual production? ”

Zhu Guangji still knows how to order wine, and in 1995, the annual output of "Potus Dry Red Wine" was generally sold at auction at about 100,000 yuan a bottle.

A remarkable year refers to the fact that the grapes have not undergone any dramatic weather changes, and the weather in summer and early autumn is very suitable for grape growth. The grapes are ripe and fruity, high in sugar and balanced in acidity, making them ideal for winemaking.

The characteristics of the red wine of Château Bostu are mainly deep in color, aromatic and rich, and the balance of the wine is delicate and rich, with a variety of oak aromas such as ripe blackcurrant, pear, chocolate, milk, truffle, etc., and its taste is very broad, showing the style of the king of wine. Bosto is one of the most expensive red wines in the world, costing twice as much per case as Lafite, second only to Roman. Nikonti, the second most expensive in the world.

More than 90% of the grape varieties used in the Bostu winery are Merlot, which is also the best quality Merlot in the world. The vineyard is planted at a low density, generally 5,000-6,000 Merlots per hectare, and each vine is limited to a few bunches of fruit to ensure the concentration of each grape juice.

The trees used are between 40 and 90 years old, and the winemaking process is also unique because they use new oak barrels, aged in barrels for 1-2 years, and the barrels are changed every three months, so that the wine can fully absorb the different oak aromas, so that the taste is more mellow. Such extravagance and extravagance have so far been unmatched by a winery.

Zhu Guangji held the red wine in his hand and stroked the wine bottle with his left hand, such a precious gift, after thinking about it for a while, he knew that it should have been given by Mr. Lu Chuan. The reason is that red wine is too expensive, so it is sent by someone else's hand, so as to avoid suspicion and avoid being unclear when you get it.

That's how smart people deal with them, you don't need to say anything, everyone understands. Zhu Guangji sat on the sofa, and was really surprised by the gift from Lu Chuan. The two met for the first time, and the other party didn't need him to promise anything, so he gave a luxury gift, and it was so elegant and wise. It's really more ingenious and likable than those nouveau riche who send money and red envelopes directly.

Zhu Guangji stroked the red wine, and then found a towel to polish the wine bottle, he liked the wine very much, and it was very good as a private collection.

Just as he was halfway through the bottle, the footsteps of two people came from the hallway. It was his daughter Zhu Qinyun and her lover Zhang Qiufang who came back from dinner.

"Dad? Did you buy red wine? Are you going to drink together as a family when you go to Grandma's house next week? Daughter Zhu Qinyun asked while taking off her high heels.

"No, no, if you want to drink red wine, you can buy it again when you get there. This wine was used by my father to collect, and I can't afford to drink it, and I can't afford to drink it. "Although Zhu Guangji is the president of the bank, he is only the president of a small branch. Every month, there are many indicators on the head, which need to be completed by his branch, and there will be no performance bonus if the indicators are not completed. Although there are many ways to get some oil and water, many of them have to take risks. Therefore, the bottle of red wine given by Lu Chuan is also difficult for President Zhu to get, at least even if there are channels, he is probably not willing to spend this money.

Lover Zhang Qiufang put down her black shoulder bag, and then ran to the living room with a tiger face, wanting to see what red wine her "dead ghost" got back? Or is it called a collection? Can't afford to drink?

"What kind of wine is this? Looking at the general appearance of the packaging, what can you not drink? Bring it to my dad, he usually likes to drink red wine. "Zhang Qiufang and Zhu Guangji are old husbands and wives, so they speak quite directly.

"Yes, Dad, grandpa likes to drink red wine, and he drinks a glass every night, and I heard the doctor say that it will help his health." Daughter Zhu Qinyun stepped on cartoon slippers and also came to the living room to watch. Neither of them knew much about alcohol, only red, white, yellow, beer, rice wine, sake, and so on.

Although one is his daughter and the other is his wife, these two women with long hair and short knowledge who don't know anything about red wine give orders there without knowing anything, which makes President Zhu Guangji very resistant.

"The wine your grandfather drank compared to the wine in my hand, can it be called red wine? He drank all the 100 yuan in the supermarket, and 200 yuan was the most. Do you know how much this bottle of wine is worth? ”

"How much is it worth?" The daughter and her lover asked at the same time.

"How much is it worth, you go to the Internet and search for that 1995 Potus dry red wine, how much is a bottle in China."

Seeing that her father was a little carried away with joy today, her daughter Zhu Qinyun took out her mobile phone from her bag, and then searched directly in front of her mother.

When a luxury information webpage jumped out of the 1995 vintage of Portus dry red wine, an auction house in London, England, and sold a high price of 72,000 pounds a case, Zhu Qinyun's hands holding the mobile phone were obviously tightly shaken.

"'95 Potus red wine, 72,000 pounds a case, a case is 12 bottles, which means 6,000 pounds a case. Converted into RMB, is it 52,000 yuan a bottle? Factoring in tariffs and price gouging in the domestic market, then it sells for ..."

Zhu Qinyun was halfway through talking to herself, and then looked at the bottle of red wine in her father's hand again. She doesn't understand red wine, and she can't imagine why this bottle of red wine is so expensive? And where did you get your dad back? It looks like he didn't buy it, someone else gave it away, right? But who could be such a big deal?

"Dad, did you give you this wine for your entertainment today?" Zhu Qinyun asked intelligently.

"The client you met today was so generous? Giving you such expensive wine for one meal? There won't be any problems with that, right? Lover Zhang Qiufang said questioningly. Compared with such expensive red wine, she is more worried about her lover and not doing anything illegal and undisciplined.

At this time, after Zhu Guangji heard this, he replied without raising his eyelids.
