Chapter 318: The Queen of Red Wine
"Next, let's go into the wine cellar, Zhu Zhu, you are blessed this time!"
Today's important thing is to go for a wine tasting first.
All, although the handsome French guy had a great impact on Zhu Zhu and Wang Junfeng, after the two stabilized for a while, they quickly came to the door of the wine cellar.
"Wine cellar? This is the cellar of Château Margaux, which you can go in casually? ”
Zhu Zhu was a little surprised, although he knew that he had come to taste the new wine of Château Margaux today, but he did not expect that the famous Château Margaux would let visitors into its cellar.
You know, red wine is the lifeblood of the winery~ root, just like the vault of a bank, can anyone enter!
"Of course, this cellar is not an important cellar of Château Margaux, the storage of wine is very important and very careful, temperature, humidity, light and the angle of visit, there is a lot of knowledge, all, the official cellar of Château Margaux, people who can enter, can be counted on one hand, although there are only sixty or seventy people in Margaux in total."
That's right, the famous Château Margaux, one of the holy places for wine lovers all over the world, plus the owner, the whole estate is only sixty or seventy people, and every year is the season of grape picking, it will temporarily hire two or three hundred more employees, and at other times, this big estate is very empty.
"The winery we are going to now has wines that were also made at the same time, and there are many varieties. It's just a few barrels left here alone, just for dealers or visitors like us to taste, because of the flow of people, the taste is probably a little worse than the official cellar, but it's also quite not ~ wrong! ”
While introducing, Wang Junfeng also pushed open the door.
The cellar is a bit dim, and the ultraviolet rays in the light can damage the wine a lot, which will accelerate the oxidation process of the wine, so it is generally when the wine is stored. Be sure to put it in a dark place. And keep it away from vibration, and don't move it too often. Otherwise, the taste of the wine will become rough.
Even though this is a place for people to taste wine, but. The light should not be too bright either. Only there is a small light in the middle of the room. Bring a little light, and try not to shine ~ on the red wine barrels on both sides.
"Whew, it's cold!" Walked into the room. Zhu Zhu couldn't help but shudder and hugged his shoulders tightly.
The temperature inside this room was several degrees lower than outside.
Wang Junfeng on the side seemed to have adapted to this temperature a long time ago.
"Zhu Zhu, if you want to become a sommelier, you must adapt to this temperature, you must know that the best storage temperature for wine is about 13 °C, and the temperature should be kept constant, otherwise it will cause great damage to the quality of the wine. If the temperature is too high, the time required for the sake to ripen will be shortened, the flavor of the sake will become coarse, and it may even deteriorate due to excessive oxidation. So, let your body get used to this temperature! ”
You must know that Wang Junfeng has always been thrown into a room with this temperature by his family since he was a child, and he has long been used to it, and even, this temperature makes Wang Junfeng feel more comfortable.
Well?
Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then a feeling of shame rose in his heart.
Yes, I still want to be a good wine taster, but I can't adapt to any small things, so I can't do it.
Putting down her clenched arms, Zhu Zhu felt the temperature around her, in fact, she got used to it, it was nothing, it wasn't so cold!
Inside, Shang Yue's group of people had already discovered the figures of Zhu Zhu and Wang Junfeng, and saw the two of them come in, because after all, they were in the wine cellar, and there were people from Château Margaux next to them, so they didn't make a noise, so they just smiled and beckoned them over.
Especially Mu Ruochen, as soon as Zhu Zhu and Wang Junfeng walked in, he had been closely observing Zhu Zhu, and when he saw her expression, he put his mind at ease.
Originally, Mu Ruochen was still a little worried that after Wang Junfeng told Zhu Zhu everything, Zhu Zhu would feel uncomfortable in his heart, but now it seems that Zhu Zhu's child is really quite atmospheric.
Shaking Zhu Zhu's hand, Mu Ruochen smiled at Zhu Zhu before continuing to look at a handsome French middle-aged man at the top of the head.
At this moment, the handsome middle-aged man is holding a wine decanter, which is the kind of glassware that looks a bit like a beaker, but is a large size fatter than a beaker, and can allow red wine and air to fully contact, and it is slowly shaking.
The movements are truly indescribably beautiful.
With just one glance, Zhu Zhu could conclude that this person's wine tasting skills must be quite good.
Really......
"This is the general manager and winemaker of Château Margaux, Mr. Paul Pontallier, postdoctoral fellow in winemaking!"
Wang Junfeng secretly stretched out his thumb and gestured, and introduced Zhu Zhu in a low voice.
God, postdoc in winemaking?!
It's really the first time Zhu Zhu has heard of such a degree.
However, thinking that the doctors in China are already super scholars, this is actually a postdoctor, and it must be a super wine master.
I don't know, will he nibble on a book and drink wine at the same time?
Zhu Zhu looked at the handsome middle-aged man with blonde hair in front of him, stealing fun.
“Silvouspla?tprofiter!”
The handsome middle-aged man spoke a word of French and poured the sobered red wine into the goblets one by one.
Even if she can't understand French, Zhu Zhu can guess that this is the meaning of inviting everyone to try it.
Zhu Zhu also picked up a goblet, there was not much wine in it, it was shallow, but when it slid over the glass, it would leave a red trace, which was very beautiful.
There is a faint fragrance coming from the nose.
Shake the wine glass in your hand again, the aroma is strong but not pungent, it will only make people feel very comfortable, close your eyes, as if you can be in the wine estate, surrounded by the wind with the aroma of grapes and grass, and the warm and soft sun.
Take a sip, the entrance of the red wine, the feeling in the mouth is so elegant and delicate, with a hint of tenderness, no wonder the wine of Château Margaux will be called the queen of red wine.
After a while, the taste of the wine begins to change in the mouth, and the taste emerges layer by layer, and it is a unique red wine that perfectly combines elegance and charm with richness and mellowness, and delicate softness and strength.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the main wine of Château Margaux, those small wineries, or the secondary wines of those big wineries, can not be compared with this at all.
The sub-brand wine of Château Margaux that I drank before was completely inferior to this one.
It's no wonder I've heard people say that if you want to experience the main wine through the sub-brand of a famous wine, it is two completely different wines, and it is true.
And this is just last year's new wine, or the wine with the best storage conditions, can make people enjoy it so much, I can't imagine how magical and elegant the real wine of Margaux good vintage will be! (To be continued......)
