Chapter 361: The Tale of Dionysus

The taster smiled slightly, "I'm already very surprised, after all, this is a Romanée Condi brewed in the New Yuan Era!" If it is aged for a few more years, it will definitely become better. ←, Aubert and De Veran are worthy of being one of the three Bacchus. In fact, Romanée-Conti did not understand as well as Krohaba, which is also the proper meaning of the question, and it is easy to compare from the output. Henrija is even more demanding, he makes these top wines every year with no more than a few tongs, while the average production of Romanée Conti is still 5,000 bottles per year, which is several times more than Henrija leaves. ”

Gatt listened to their comments and frowned, "Several, please come with me to meet Lord Dwelan." ”

The three of them nodded at the same time, and soon, they were back in front of the ancient tree.

Aubert and Dweyland didn't immediately ask them how they felt about the wine, and the old voices were more vicissitudes than before.

"Actually, I should have died a long time ago, and I should have left this world two hundred years ago. However, I was reluctant to leave. ”

"I've always had a conflict, when I was younger, I wanted to be a top winemaker, and all the teachers who taught me told me that I was talented. I have a unique advantage in terms of taste, grapes and wine. ”

"At that time, I worked very hard, I was improving almost every day, and I was improving every day. Soon, I started to make a name for myself as a good winemaker. However, as time went on, I gradually discovered that there is a strange thing in the world of red wine, the better the wine, then. The more impoverished the winery became. Because. The best wines must be made in the most demanding way. Even the grapes need a full moon to pick them, and if there is no full moon night, it is better to let the grapes rot in the soil than to use them to make wine. Only in this way can the best wine be made. However, those wineries that make ordinary and cheap wines are particularly wealthy. Their wine is of poor quality, but the sales volume is huge. Burgundy's largest wine merchant sells eight million bottles a year. ”

"My worldview was shocked at the time, why not the best thing to make the most money? So, I started researching, and it took me thirty years to find the right balance. That's where DRC comes in. However, unconsciously, my perception of wine and grapes was no longer so keen, and the money I spent made my heart start to become impetuous. ”

"Early years. I've never seen Henri Jaye as an opponent because in my eyes. He was just an ordinary simple peasant, and I was the heir to the Dverand family, and I owned fifty percent of the DRC. However, when I really made DRC the top wine merchant in Burgundy, I found that I could no longer keep up with him. ”

"That's when I gradually realized that I really couldn't compare to him, and it turned out that my favorite thing was still winemaking. So, I started to try to catch up, and together with Larobess, I worked hard to develop a biodynamic winemaking method and do my best to improve the quality of the DRC. During that time, we did a lot of pioneering things together, we gave wine all our lives, and even delayed our own life's events, but that time was the happiest for me. Every day with Beth, we work together and our relationship gets better and better. Finally, one day, I felt that our wine was good enough, so we brought in Henri Jaye, who looked like an old farmer. ”

"Henri Jayle came to our winery, and I took him on a tour myself, and I wanted him to see how strong our DRC is and how great our biodynamics are."

But when he had seen it, he said that to him the vine was like his own life and his companion. When the vine is sick, it is necessary to give it the right amount of fertilizer, and when the vine needs something, it is necessary to give it something, and it should not be deliberately pursued for a concept. ”

"At that time, I was very unconvinced, so I said to him, "Can your wine be as good as my Romanée Conti?" At that time, Crohaba, who would later become famous, understood that the vines were not old enough to actually produce grapes. After tasting the Romanée Conti, he said to me that he would like to help me make a Romanée Conti for a year. Let me give him a portion of the grapes from the Canti Garden. ”

"At that time, I was very proud. I agreed to his request and, together with Beth, also made that year's Romanée Conti with my own hands. Then, we work together and dedicate ourselves to winemaking. It was also the only time Henri Jaye made wine at DRC. He would come every day to see the vines that I had assigned to him, and what he was doing there every day. ”

"Soon, more than two years passed. The wine we made at the beginning can be bottled. Beth and I joined forces to brew twenty barrels of Romanée Conti, which adds up to six thousand bottles. And what he brewed was only a small barrel, which could only hold one hundred and fifty bottles. But according to the number of vineyards I gave him, I should be able to produce at least 500 bottles. At first, I thought he was greedy for grapes, but he sued me that he didn't, and the reason why there were so few was because there were only so few that met his standards. ”

So, two bottles of wine from Romanée Conti, but with the winemaker on them with his and Beth's names written on them, were placed on the table. At the time, Beth and I didn't believe that Kanti, who we were more familiar with, would be inferior to him. ”

Speaking of this, Aubert and De Veran paused, "But when two glasses of Romanée-Conti that looked the same color were really placed in front of us, we soon suffered the greatest defeat of our lives. Henrijae just sniffed the Conti of our wine, and then he stood up and said to me, "I am very grateful that I can give him the opportunity to handle the vines of the Conti vines, and he will give me and Beth all these Romanée Conti that he has made." Then, he was gone. ”

"I thought he was admitting defeat. But when I smelled his Kanti and felt for myself the powerful tannins and the fragrance beyond my imagination, I knew I was wrong. Beth and I lost, and we lost so badly. It took Henri Jaye more than two years to tell us what the most powerful wine should taste like. ”

"That hit me so much, so much that I even collapsed for a while. What pained me even more was that Beth left me. She went to the vineyard of Henri Gjaye and began to make wine with him. Even though I knew that she only went to him because of his skill in making wine, my heart was still full of jealousy and resentment. I worked hard to surpass Henrigia in winemaking, and I also selected the grapes in the most demanding way. However, his wine began to appear, and Henri Jay's Krohaba, Theseus, and Richburgh. Born out of nowhere. Even though he couldn't affect my DRC because of the small production, from that moment on, I was no longer a Bacchus. There will always be only one person who can ascend to the altar. ”

Later, he died. Haha, he's dead. I went to find Beth and hoped she would come back to me. But Beth was unwilling, Beth said that she was in love with Henry Jay, and even if he was dead, she would love him forever. Beth then gave up her stake in DRC and returned to her own family estate, running the Leroy brand. ”

"There are always rumors that I kicked her out of the DRC, but who knows my pain? In my life, the only woman I have ever loved is her. However, she fell in love with someone I would never be able to beat. ”

"I am strong and alive, and there is only one belief that supports me to survive, and that is to surpass Henri Jaye! Although he died, there was still wine handed down, so I bought a lot of his wine at a great price. If one day is not as good as him, I will make wine for one day, and if one year is not as good as him, I will make wine for one year. The environment on my home planet is gradually deteriorating, and my hope is getting slimmer, but I am not reconciled, as long as I have not defeated him, I cannot die. So, I spent a lot of time transforming my body, merging it with the oldest vines. In order to live longer, I gradually became a vine, and I believe that in this way, I will be able to understand the grapes better and make better wines. My Romane-Conti will one day surpass Henri Jay's Krohaba, understand! Someday! ”

Obert de Veran's voice grew higher and higher, and his whole emotion seemed to be a little out of control.

Listening to the resentment of this generation of Bacchus against another deceased Bacchus, Lan Jue frowned slightly and sighed lightly.

"Why do you sigh?" Obert and Dverland suddenly asked coldly.

Lan Jue said: "Because I think that if you maintain such a love and competitive spirit, I am afraid that you will never be able to defeat Henry Jia Ye senior." ”

Aubert and Dverand were furious, and the vines on the vines waved vigorously, "Why? Who are you to say that? ”

Lan Jue said: "Of course, I am not qualified to judge the wine of you and Master Henry Jiaye, but I think that a good winemaker should really like wine, not use it as a tool for competitiveness. You are right, you have a very high talent, and in this regard, I believe that Master Henry Jaye may not be better than you, but your mentality determines the victory or defeat. It's so competitive that you can't really understand grapes and wine, at least compared to Henri Jaye's predecessors. ”――
