Chapter 69: The Legend of the Three Dionysians
The so-called blind tasting is to distinguish by tasting guò without knowing what kind of wine it is.
"Blind tasting? All right! Lan Jue smiled, "However, don't give me too bad wine." It's too bad for me to taste. ”
The sommelier smiled slightly, took out a wine bottle from the wine cabinet next to him, and placed it in front of Lan Jue. The bottle was empty, without any labels, but there was a lot of dust on it. But the color of the wine inside the bottle shows that it is a red wine.
The taster picked up the seahorse knife, opened the bottle, and then took the two glasses and poured a glass for himself and Lan Jue.
Lan Never went to drink directly, but picked up a glass of white water, cleared his mouth, and then picked up the wine glass and brought it to his nose.
Shake the glass slightly, then dip your nose into the rim and sniff.
The next moment, Lan Jue's facial expression suddenly changed drastically, it was amazement, praise, shock, and incredible.
"This—This is ......"
As he spoke, he picked up the glass and shone the wine towards the light.
The wine is not the transparent ruby color of most red wines, but is slightly lighter and even slightly cloudy. However, when Lan Jue saw this color, he almost blurted out, "Burgundy, DRC?" ”
The taster smiled and said nothing.
Not long ago, Lan Jue had just made him bleed profusely and drank him a bottle of the Heavenly Relics, Romani Conti. Romanée Conti is the most famous example of Burgundy wine. Also the king of the DRC. DRC is the name of a company in the Upper Proterozoic Burgundy appellation that operates some of the best wine regions. is the most famous company in Burgundy.
Therefore, just by smelling the fragrance, Lan Jue made his first judgment.
"Give it a try." The sommelier made a gesture of please, and at the same time picked up his glass.
Lan Jue took a big sip, the liquor stayed in his mouth, just waiting for a moment, the sweetness of the best red wine instantly exploded, the rich and fragrant aroma filled every part of his mouth in an instant, although it did not have the magic of Romanée Conti, but it also conquered any lover of fine wine.
After a long time, Lan Jue came back to his senses and exclaimed, "Good wine." Only the Burgundian people of Proterozoic France were able to use a single grape to produce such a rich flavor, floral, fruity, and plum flavors, which endured for a long time. From the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue and back again. Whether it is the front taste or the back section, it is full of texture. The tannins are smooth, and although not as silky as Romanée-Conti, they are not far off. ”
"What, then, is it in your judgment?" The taster asked.
Lan Jue said without hesitation: "It should be the DRC's Rathahi, or the coat of Husius." The year is about 202 years in the Shangyuan era. ”
The taster smiled, smiling happily.
"Wrong!"
"Wrong?" Lan Jue was stunned for a moment, "Is the wine wrong, or is the year wrong?" It can't be anything else! However, DRC is too rare, and I really haven't drunk much, so it's possible to make a slight judgment wrong. Could it be the DRC's Château Richie, or Saint-Vivan? It can't be Saint-Vivan, right? Saint-Vivon doesn't seem to have reached this level. ”
"Wrong, wrong, wrong." The sommelier said with some pride, and took a sip of the wine in the glass, which was also a look of admiration.
"Sommelier, it's no fun to cheat." Lan Jue firmly believes in his own judgment.
The taster said: "How many levels of Burgundy are there?" ”
Lan Jue said: "Four, the lowest is called AOC, then the VILLAGE, also called the village level, and then the highest is the first-class garden, the top Burgundy, which is called the Grand Grade Garden, like several well-known wines under the DRC, are all Grand Grade Gardens." Romanée Conti is one of the masterpieces, the king of wine in the world. ”
The taster said indifferently: "The bottle you just drank is VILLAGE." ”
"What?" Lan Jue stood up suddenly, almost knocking the chair behind him over. It's because the taster's words are so subversive.
"Impossible, how can a bottle of village-level wine have the taste of DRC, just inferior to Romanée Conti. Sommelier, you should know that red wine is my most important hobby, don't joke with me about it. ”
The taster smiled slightly, "Your first reaction and mine are the same. When I first drank this wine, I had the same reaction. Even more drastic than you. It's disruptive. However, when I knew the truth, I realized that I was not wrong, and I was not subverted by anything, because the cup of VILLAGE in your hand should be so strong. Even though it's village-level, if I were to say another name, you'll know why it's so powerful. ”
"The world only knows that the world's wine king is Romanée Conti, but in ancient France, there were three major wine gods, do you know?"
Lan Jue was stunned, "The three gods of wine, what are you talking about, are the three brewmasters in Burgundy back then, the three who are known as the gods of wine?" ”
The sommelier nodded, yes, "The three major gods of wine in the world are the owner of the DRC, Aubert de Verand, the shareholder of the DRC, and the independent winemaker, Henri Jayère. ”
"Aubert de Verand, who created the entire DRC world, the most famous Romanée Conti, is his most perfect work. The world god of wine, deservedly so, and he also has a strong business acumen when it comes to running a winery. ”
"Ms. La Robess, who was once a shareholder of DRC, was later ousted from the board of directors in a different way from Aubert de Verand, and became an independent winemaker who ran the family brand LEORY, so she is also known as Ms. Leory. Write a legend. In that year, he started the biobrewing method with Obel de Verand. ”
"And the last one, Henri Jayel, has the least appearance of his name among the three Dionysians. However, in the whole world of wine, his name has always been at the top of the list. No matter what wine auction is, as long as this name appears, it must be the first place in the auction. If Romanée-Conti is the king of wine in the world, then the three top wines produced by Henri Jayer are the king of wine in the world, and what is even more peculiar is that his most representative is not a grand cru, but a wine made in a first-class garden. It's called Kohapayan. It's a very awkward name, but it's always an invincible existence. ”
Lan Jue looked at the wine bottle in front of him without any wine label, and muttered, "You won't sue me, this bottle in front of you is brewed by one of the three major wine gods, right?" ”
The taster smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "Not bad." Although this bottle is a VILLAGE, it is only a village level. However, its brewer, the first of the three Bacchus, produces only a few hundred bottles of any one wine every year, and is known as the master of Henri Jayer in the Yuan era. ”
