Yunding Ranch

Chapter 256 Royal Winery
They originally came here for the red wine, and Dijon was just a transit station, but they fell in love with this town unexpectedly. French romance.

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

After the meal, Lu Li and his group were not in a hurry to go back to rest. Instead, they 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 will go to the winery for a field trip, and they have made an appointment in advance, and it would be bad if they are late.

"Fourteen, which winery are we going to? Was it on the famous winery road in Jinqiu yesterday?" Tony said expectantly, "On that road, any winery is fine, it is definitely a dream."

Today, Lu Li is still driving.Because the appointment was made by Lu Li, only he knows where the destination is today.

Tony was lying on the back of the passenger seat, his face was shining because of his anticipation.Lu Li just chuckled, obviously determined to sell this to the end.

Brandon gave Tony a sideways look, "Why did they let us in?" With a single sentence, Tony choked, and then drooped his shoulders in frustration, "Yeah, why did they let us in Woolen cloth."

Thanks to the world-renowned wines, Burgundy has also become a tourist attraction. In addition to wine practitioners, many tourists also come here for sightseeing.

There are countless wineries in this area, both top wineries and small wineries.However, those top wineries are not open to the outside world, and even some small wine agents cannot get admission tickets, because their wine is not worried about sales, and the queue for making an appointment for wine has been waiting for several years.

There are only small wineries that tourists can visit.

"Aren't those wineries the same?" Brandon asked curiously, "Although the scale is different, they are all brewing red wine, and the things we need to learn from are also the same. More precisely, A small winery is more suitable for us, isn't it? Yunding 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 is different. I'm not talking about the secrets that are kept secret, but their management of the vineyards. Small workshops can't find those details. Yes." Tony said solemnly, "The details determine success or failure."

"The foundation determines the superstructure." Brandon's thinking is different, perhaps, the essence of vineyards and horse breeding is different. "You'd better lay a solid foundation."

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

"Are you crazy?" Tony screamed, his voice has been distorted, like a squashed balloon, after being compressed to the extreme, it may explode at any time, but even so, he still couldn't express his inner excitement. Trembling, he pointed at the vineyard in front of him, "We... you... here... fourteen... no... this... what's going on? Did you go wrong?"

Tony widened his eyes, pointed at the sign at the gate of the manor, stammered, his words were incomplete, looked at Lu Li, then looked outside, then looked at Brandon, and then hit the cloth with his shoulder hard. Langdon, "Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it?"

Brandon looked out of the car window following Tony's eyes, but he had no idea about the wine brand, and even less about the winery, so he looked calm, "What's wrong?"

Now Tony was even more depressed, his eyes were about to burst into flames, "This... this is Romanee-Conti! Did you know? Romanee-Conti!"

Romanée-Conti, one of the top wines in the world, is not only expensive, but also rare, and even needs to be put on the auction to compete, and it can always be auctioned with a record number, which cannot be bought with real money.

Brandon was still in a daze. Americans like beer. For them, red wine is more like a date item for a formal dinner, a weapon to improve their style; but in Texas, the status of red wine is even higher than Behind beer, whiskey, brandy.

Tony felt really tight in his chest and patted his chest, so he decided to give up on Brandon and looked at Lu Li, "Fourteen, did you go the wrong way?"

They can't even get into the top wineries on the famous winery road, let alone the top wineries like Romanee-Conti?

Lu Li had already parked the car and dialed the phone number. Hearing Tony's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Anthony Rogers, is he a little promising? It's just a winery, so there's no need to make a fuss, just like Jesus After all, he is still human, he is not God, this is a truth.”

Tony felt like he was going to pass out—Romanee-Conti, just a winery?This is the wildest joke he's heard this year!

Chateau Romanée-Conti is not only one of the most expensive wines in the world, but also one of the best wineries in French history.

The Romanée-Conti winery is also located in the Côte d'Or, the so-called Côte d'Or refers to the area between a production area called the Côte de Nuits and a production area called the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy.

Romanée-Conti is located in the depths of the Côte de Nuits, and independently owns its own top grade wine gardens, which have been certified by professional associations. The top of the park is an exclusive vineyard, with an annual output of about [-] bottles. The real Romanee-Conti.Such output is not even one-fiftieth of Lafite's.

However, Romanee-Conti's sales method is very special, because the top red wines are too precious and the quantity is limited, so they must be sold together, instead of being sold separately like other famous chateaus.Every bottle of Romanée-Conti sold is paired with wines from other vineyards in the winery.Therefore, a set usually consists of twelve to thirteen bottles, and the price of the set varies according to the year, about [-] euros, of which a bottle of Romanee-Conti occupies half of the price.

All the wines produced here are high-quality goods, and almost three grapes can produce a bottle of wine on average. In 1936, Romanée-Conti was officially designated as a top wine by the French government.

However, this winery has encountered two catastrophes in history. One was the phylloxera disaster in 1866. The phylloxera from the United States destroyed most of the French vineyards. method, miraculously escaped the disaster; once in 1945, due to the impact of hail and the shortage of labor during World War II, the old vines of the winery could not escape the catastrophe in the end, and they could only introduce grapes from the brother winery La Tache the next year. rattan.

Of course, the grapes of Chateau La Tache were originally introduced from Chateau Romanee-Conti after the phylloxera disaster.This way guarantees the pure blood of the vines of the Romanee-Conti winery.

In terms of grape planting, wine harvesting, soil research, and park management, Romanée-Conti Winery adopts extremely strict but methodical systems and measures, trying to follow the balance of nature and traditional characteristics, striving for perfection.Under the creation of the ultimate religious concept, Romanée-Conti wine has become the dream of many wine lovers. The director of the winery, Aubert de Vellain, described it as "with the fragrance of dying roses, It makes people linger and forget to return, the jewel left behind by the gods when they return to heaven."

The unique quality, long history and limited output all contribute to the supremacy of Romanée-Conti, as well as its high price.

It is rare to see Romanée-Conti in the market now. Even if a bottle leaks occasionally, the price is staggering, ranging from thousands of euros to tens of thousands of euros. precious.

If you follow the normal way now, a bottle of Romanée-Conti can be quoted online for 2006 euros, while the classic vintage [-] costs [-] euros.Even better, there is no market for the price, and three bottles of other wines from the estate must be purchased to buy a bottle of Romanée-Conti.

This is Romanée-Conti. As a red wine, its tasting value and collection value are second to none; more importantly, its winery management method and grape planting are simply priceless for Tony as a winemaker. No amount of money can buy this rare experience.

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

However, before he exploded, the door opened slowly. A middle-aged man in a light blue shirt and black suit pants stood at the entrance with a faint smile on his face and made a Welcome gesture.

Go in, they really go in, they really go into Chateau Romanée-Conti!Countless top billionaires are unable to enter it, but after a glimpse of the lineup of Romanée-Conti winery, they actually entered!

Tony was almost about to jump up in excitement, but he suppressed himself compulsively, trying to calm him down, but he still muttered, "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?" The surprise came too suddenly, So much so that he couldn't help himself.

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

Tony was stunned for a moment, and his excitement subsided. He knew more clearly than anyone else what Romanee-Conti meant. Lu Li actually managed to let them in for a visit. He didn't know what was going on. , but he knew that he must not miss it easily, absolutely not!Calm down, calm down, he has to calm down.

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