The next morning, Wang Zixuan and Adolf von Frank drove out of the castle.

The road is mostly lined with vineyards, but now there is a hint of greenery, and there is nothing to see, only neat rows of grape trellises.

However, Wang Zixuan did not come to enjoy the scenery, and the convoy went straight to Vaughan Romani Village.

It's a small village, but it brings together all the best of the Burgundy region.

If you look at it from the outside, Vaughan Romani Village is an ordinary country village, with no tall castles or luxurious courtyards, just some ordinary buildings, which can even make people feel a little poor and backward.

But those who are familiar with red wine will know that there is no ordinary bottle of wine in this village.

A bottle of red wine placed there at random in each household may be worth tens of thousands of yuan.

The convoy stopped at the entrance to the village, and Wang Zixuan and Adolf von Frank led the way along the winding path into the village, led by a few greeting men.

After walking for a few minutes, I saw dozens of men greeting me in front of a courtyard.

These are the owners of Grand Cru vineyards in the village of Vaughan Romané and the neighbouring village of Fraji Iseso.

Although there are only six Grand Cru in Vaughan Romani and two in Fragi Iserso, there are more than 100 owners in the eight Grand Cru.

Again, four of the six Grand Cru Gardens in Vaughan Romani Village are exclusive.

Because of the heritage, many owners only own a row of vines in a Grand Cru, but don't underestimate those who only own a row of vines.

The rows of vines in these Grand Cru vineyards are worth a fortune, and those who can get a share of them usually have other properties.

One of the reasons why Burgundy is not as famous internationally as Bordeaux is that a Burgundy vineyard has several or dozens of owners, and the wine ratings of each winery are very complex, which affects the spread of Burgundy wine.

Château Romanée Conti owns the Romanée Conti and La Tahi vineyards in Vaughan Romanée, as well as part of the four Grand Cru Cru Saint-Vivain in Vaughan Romanée, Richieburg and Fraghi Etherso.

The other two Grand Cru avenues in the village of Vaughan Romané are the exclusive vineyards of Château La Masshoux and the Romané vineyards are the exclusive estates of Baron Roger Berel.

After Wang Zixuan learned about the situation of Romanée Conti Winery, he once thought about buying all the eight Grand Cru vineyards in Vaughan Romanée Village and Fraji Iserso Village, but Citibank investigated and now this goal is completely impossible to achieve, even if Wang Zixuan is willing to pay more money, there are many owners who have no intention of selling at all.

Moreover, many of the owners are families that have been inherited in Europe for hundreds of years or even longer, and they simply look down on tyrants like Citibank and Wang Zixuan.

At first, Wang Zixuan wanted to buy Romanée Conti on a whim, wanting to pocket the world's most expensive red wine, but later put Romanée Conti into the plan to build a high-end tourism industry.

Concerning the tourism layout that Wang Zixuan values the most, Wang Zixuan naturally will not give up lightly, and asks Adolf von Frank to come forward to coordinate.

The Frank family has been in Europe for hundreds of years and has dealings with many European families.

If it were someone else, Adolf von Frank would not have helped with this kind of help, but as soon as Wang Zixuan spoke, Adolf von Frank agreed to help.

Thanks to the efforts of Adolf von Frank and the acquisition of Wang Zixuan at any cost, the two families of Blochet and Leroy, who owned Château Romanée Conti, relented and agreed to sell it, and of course the price was sky-high.

A whole 5 billion euros, including vineyards, winery buildings, wine storage, etc.

Calculated together, this price premium is not high.

In the wine world, Bordeaux's Château Lafite is worth more than 3 billion euros, and although the production of Château Romanée Conti is far inferior to that of Lafite, the price and reputation are better than Lafite.

It was at the time that Lafite became famous as a replacement for Romanée Conti.

In 176o, the Kronborg family, who owned the Romanée winery, was forced to sell the Romanée vineyard due to debt, which by then was recognized as the finest winery.

The sale of the Romanée vineyard naturally attracted the attention of many powerful people, and the two most powerful contenders were two of the most powerful figures in France at the time.

One was a cousin of King Louis XV of France at the time and Prince Louis of Bourbon. Francois. De Bourbon, that is, Prince Conti, and the other was the favorite ** of the King of France, Madame de Pompadour.

Prince Conti was a nobleman whom Louis XV relied on very much, and Madame de Pompadour was Louis XV's favorite **, and the two had been at odds for a long time, so this competition was naturally eye-catching.

In the end, Prince Conti relied on his strong financial resources to buy the Romanée winery with a lot of money, and the price per hectare of land was ten times higher than that of the surrounding top vineyards, making the Romanée winery the most expensive winery in the world at that time, and the supremacy began to be established.

The Romanée vineyard also added a suffix, and it became today's Romanée Conti Vineyard.

Although Madame de Pompadour was not as wealthy as Prince Conti, she often attended court banquets and set fashion trends.

If you can't get Romani Conti, then I'll destroy it.

With this in mind, Madame de Pompadour stopped drinking Burgundy wines and promoted the Champagne of Lafite and Don Perrinon (father of Champagne) in Bordeaux among the court.

Both Lafite and Champagne benefited from Madame de Pompadour's promotion and became popular at court.

However, Romanée Conti's position in red wine has not been shaken and remains the supreme in red wine.

Whether in terms of quality, historical value and status, Romanée Conti is the Crédérale de Lafite.

However, after the Rothschild family acquired Château Lafite in 1868, they vigorously shaped the Lafite brand, and the production of Château Lafite was much higher than that of Château Romanée Conti, and Château Lafite's annual sales revenue was three times that of Château Romanée Conti.

Of course, if it weren't for the small output of Romanée Conti Winery and the low sales revenue, Wang Zixuan would have to pay tens of billions of euros to acquire Romanée Conti Winery.

After acquiring the Romanée Conti winery, Wang Zixuan plans to exchange some of the two Grand Cru Cru Cru of the village of Fragi Etherso and the Grand Etherso with cash for the other four Grand Cru of Vaughan Romané Village, so as to own all six Grand Cru of Vaughan Romané Village.

But unfortunately, even the use of Grand Cru and cash exchange will not be able to get some stubborn European aristocrats.
