They were originally here for the wine, Dijon was just a stopover, but they unexpectedly fell in love with this town, quiet and serene, with a strong atmosphere of life that slows people down, but also has a unique French romance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's like a ranch, but it's not a ranch.

After the meal, Lu Li and his party did not rush back to rest, but found a bar, ordered a glass of authentic Burgundy red wine, and slowly enjoyed the beauty of the night.

The next day, the three of them got up early. Today they are going to the winery for a field trip, and they have made an appointment in advance, and it is not good if they are late.

"Fourteen, which winery are we going to? on the famous vineyard road in the Golden Hill yesterday?" said Tony expectantly, "on that road, any winery can be used, it is definitely a dream." ”

Today, it's still Lu Li who drives. Because, the appointment was completed by Lu Li, and he alone knew where today's destination was.

Tony was lying on the back of the passenger seat, his face shining because he was too expectant. Lu Li just smiled, obviously making up his mind to sell this pass to the end.

Brandon glanced at Tony, "Why did they let us in?" and pushed back with a word, causing Tony to choke, and then slumped his shoulders in frustration, "yes, why did they let us in." ”

Thanks to its world-famous wines, Burgundy has also become a tourist destination, and in addition to wine practitioners, many tourists also come here for sightseeing.

There are countless wineries in the region, from the top to the smallest. However, the top wineries are not open to the public, and even some small wine agents can't get tickets, because their wines don't sell at all, and the queue for wine reservations has been waiting for a few years.

The only thing that tourists can visit is the small winery.

"Aren't all those wineries the same?" asked Brandon curiously, "the scale is different, but they are all making red wine, and the things we need to learn from are the same." More precisely, a small winery is more suitable for us, isn't it? Cloud Peak Ranch is also a small winery, management, workshop craftsmanship, this is more suitable for us, isn't it?"

"That's what I said. But the winemaking process of the big wineries, that's all different, I'm not talking about the secrets that don't go outside, but their management of the vineyards, those details that you can't find in small workshops. Tony said solemnly, "The devil is in the details." ”

"The foundation determines the superstructure. Brandon thinks differently, and perhaps the essence of the vineyard and horse breeding is different. "It's better for you to have a solid foundation. ”

"We're here!" Lu Li slowed down the car and interrupted the argument between the two people behind, "I can't see the doorbell here, I'll find a place to stop and make a call." ”

"Are you crazy?" Tony screamed, his voice distorted, like a flattened balloon, compressed to the extreme, it could explode at any moment, but even so, he still couldn't express the excitement in his heart, his right hand trembled, and he pointed to the vineyard in front of him, "We ...... You...... Over here...... Fourteen...... Wrong...... This one...... What's going on? Are you making a mistake?"

Tony's eyes widened, he pointed to the sign at the gate of the manor, stammered, his words were incomplete, he looked at Lu Li, then at the outside, then at Brandon, and then hard against Brandon with his shoulder, "Did you see it? Did you see it?"

Brandon followed Tony's eyes and looked out the car window, but he had no concept of the wine brand, and his understanding of the winery was even more lackluster, so he looked calm, "What's wrong?"

Now Tony was even more depressed, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire, "This...... This is Romanée Conti! You know what?

Romanée Conti, one of the world's finest wines, is not only expensive, but also so scarce that it even has to be put up for auction to compete, always able to sell record numbers that no real money can buy.

Brandon is still at a loss, Americans like beer, and red wine is more like a formal dinner date for them, a weapon used to improve their style, but in Texas, red wine is even ranked behind beer, whiskey, and brandy.

Tony was really tight, patted his chest, and decided to give up on Brandon and looked at Lu Li, "Fourteen, are you going the wrong way?"

They can't even get into the top wineries on the famous roads, let alone the best wineries like Romanée Conti?

Lu Li had already parked the car, dialed the phone number, and when he heard Tony's words, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Anthony Rogers, is it okay to be a little promising? It's just a winery, there's no need to make a fuss, it's like Jesus is a human being after all, he is not God, this is a truth." ”

Tony felt like he was going to faint - Romani Conti was just a winery, the most ridiculous joke he'd ever heard this year!

Château Romanée-Conti, it is not only one of the most expensive wines in the world today, but also one of the finest wineries in the history of France.

Château Romanée-Conti is also located in the Golden Hills, which are the area between a region in Burgundy called the Côte d'Noe and a region called Côte d'Bonne.

Located in the depths of the Côte d'Noeil, Romanée-Conti has its own exclusive vineyard with an annual production of around 6,000 bottles, the true Romanée-Conti. This yield is not even one-fiftieth of Lafite's.

However, Romanée-Conti sells them in a very special way, because the top wines are so precious and limited in quantity, they have to be sold in pairs, rather than on their own, as is the case with other wineries. For every bottle of Romanée Conti sold, it is paired with wines from other wineries of the estate. As a result, a set is generally twelve to thirteen bottles, and the price of the set varies depending on the vintage, but is around 13,000 euros, with a bottle of Romanée Conti accounting for half of the price.

The wines produced here are all of the finest, with an average of almost three grapes to produce a bottle, and in 1936 Romanée-Conti was officially classified as a top wine by France.

However, the winery has suffered two disasters in its history, one in 1866, when phylloxera from the United States destroyed most of France's vineyards, and the winery miraculously avoided the disaster at a high cost and regardless of the cost, and once in 1945, when the effects of hailstorms and labor shortages during World War II caused the vines to be brought in from its brother Ratache the following year.

Of course, the grapes of Château Latahi were originally introduced from Château Romanée-Conti after the phylloxera disaster. This approach guarantees the pure pedigree of the vines of Château Romanée-Conti.

In terms of viticulture, harvesting, soil research, and management of the park, Château Romanée-Conti has adopted extremely strict but methodical systems and measures, trying to follow the balance of nature and the characteristics of tradition, and strive for perfection. Inspired by the idea of religious extremes, Romanée Conti wines have become a dream for many wine lovers, described by the winery's director, Aubert de Veran, as "a faint scent of dying roses, a pearl of the gods returning to heaven".

The unique quality, the long history and the limited quantities produced in this area have made Romanée-Conti a place of supremacy, but also a high price.

Romanée Conti is a rare sight on the market now, and even if a bottle occasionally drops out, the price is staggering, ranging from thousands of euros to tens of thousands of euros.

Now, if you go the regular route, a bottle of Romanée Conti is quoted online for 15,000 euros, compared to 30,000 euros for the classic 2006 vintage. Better, there is no price, and three bottles of the winery's other wines must be purchased to buy a bottle of Romanée-Conti.

This is Romanée Conti, a wine whose tasting value and collectible value is second to none, and more importantly, the management of the winery and the cultivation of the grapes, which is a priceless experience for Tony as a winemaker.

Such a resort was actually said by Lu Li to be "just a winery", and Tony felt that he was going to explode in the next second.

However, before he could explode, the door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in a light blue shirt and black suit pants stood at the entrance, with a faint smile on his face, making a gesture of welcome.

Inside, they really went in, they really entered the Romanée Conti winery! Countless top billionaires could not enter it, a glimpse of the lineup of the Romanée Conti winery, they actually entered!

Tony almost jumped up with excitement, but he forcibly suppressed himself and tried to calm down, but his mouth was still babbling, "What to do, what to do?" The surprise came so suddenly that he couldn't help himself.

Brandon, who was sitting next to him, looked at the boyish Tony, and his mood was also infected, and he couldn't help but rise, "You'd better calm down, you finally got such an opportunity today, if you don't study hard, you will really live up to Fourteen's careful arrangement." ”

Tony was stunned, his excited mood precipitated, he knew better than anyone what Romani Conti meant, Lu Li actually succeeded in letting them go inside to visit, he didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he couldn't miss it easily, he couldn't! Calm down, calm down, he had to calm down.

Lu Li turned his head and said with a smile, "Are you ready?" Then, he took the lead in opening the car door and walked down.
