Early the next morning, Xia Yu, accompanied by executive Curtis Dubois, the investment arm that completed the acquisition, went to the Chateau Romanni Conti.

Although the Bulo Xie Family and Le Hua Family evacuated Clansman from the Romanie Conti Winery after selling their equity shares, this does not mean that no one is available at the winery.

Fortunately, the Romani Conti Winery has a history of more than 900 years. Although the personnel has been constantly flowing over the past nine hundred years, there are still many small families dedicated to the Romani Conti Winery.

On the way, Curtis Dubois first introduced Xia Yu to the details of the Romani Conti Winery.

Now the most important thing for Romani Conti Winery is the two families that have inherited for more than 400 years, namely the Nob Lei Family who specializes in winemaking and Faulkner who specializes in vineyard planting and Fruit Tree cultivation. family.

It is precisely because these two families have kept their hearts, they have been specializing in their respective fields for hundreds of years, and working closely together can make Romanie Conti wines top the world with super high quality.

The Buluo Xie Family and Le Hua Family, which were previously in charge, mainly play a role in operation and management.

Therefore, after the people of the Blow Xie Family and Le Hua Family left, the influence on the Romanni Conti Winery was not significant.

Bourgogne is located between the Jura mountain range and the southeastern end of the Paris basin. It is a channel area between the Rhine, Seine, Loire and Rhone rivers. It is two hundred and 51 kilometers away from Paris.

After nearly three hours’ drive, Xia Yu arrived at the Romani Conti Winery at about eleven o’clock in the morning.

Curtis Dubois immediately summoned two old men, 18 years old Andre Noble and 62 years old Gal Faulkner.

“Boss, this is Andre Noble.”

“This is Gal Faulkner!”

“Old Noble, Old Faulkner, this is what I told you, the real Boss of the winery, Xia Yu Mr. Xia!”

“…”

Xia Yu’s language is mild, while speaking gives people a feeling of spring breeze, so that Andre Noble and Gal Faulkner have no psychological pressure, and Xia Yu’s praise and praise for them also let them both Happy mood.

After some small talk, Xia Yu decided to visit her vineyard first.

Led by Gal Faulkner, Xia Yu and the others came to a small hill.

According to Gal Faulkner, standing on this hill and overlooking a large area of ​​vineyards will have the best visual enjoyment.

Although it is a hill, there are still vines planted here. Standing on the hill, there are rows of neatly planted vines, like dense green lines, and the interval between each row is about one meter. , Very well-proportioned, this distance should be able to achieve the best ratio between the grape’s daylighting and land utilization.

However, it is February, and the vines are mostly green with green buds. Although they are not as visually as the dark green in June and July, soft green gives people a healing visual enjoyment.

At this time, Standing Gal Faulkner began to introduce Xia Yu to the whole vineyard.

“Boss, the area of ​​our manor is 1.805 hectares. From 1580 to the present 400 years, there has been no increase or decrease of even one centimeter of land.”

“Although most of the vines died due to severe hail in the spring of 1945, we introduced older vines from Latahi Winery in Night Hill. The original vines of Latahi Winery were in Root nodule insects were introduced from our manor after the root disease, so the vines in our vineyard are still pure Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the trees are nearly 50 years old, and the quality is very stable…”

Gal Faulkner pointed to the busy workers in the distance and continued to introduce to Xia Yu: “Now our manor does not have any mechanized equipment. The grape planting and care are completely manual, no chemical fertilizers are used, and other Chemical methods, after the grapes have matured, are only allowed to be picked by skilled workers. After harvesting, strict screening is required to screen out the good grapes and then use them for brewing…”

Xia Yu smiled, nodded with satisfaction.

In the era of ever-changing wine-making technology, more scientific wine-making technology is widely used in the production of wine, but Romani Conti chose to be out of touch with the times.

But it is precisely because the cultivation, management, picking, and brewing of the Romani Conti vineyards are not very different from those when winemaking began in the 11th century. This inheritance and persistence of tradition is what makes Romanni Conti wines Maintaining the high-quality as always is an important reason for being sought after by the world.

Xia Yu bowed her head and took a closer look at the nearly 50-year old vine. After checking the growth of the vine, she returned to the brewing area.

In the winery area, André Noble is responsible for the explanation.

Stable and controllable temperature is the key factor for perfect fermentation of wine.

Therefore, the cellars of the overwhelming majority wine estates are all underground, and the winery of Romani Conti is no exception.

After Andre Noble opened the door, a strong scent of wine came out. After entering, Xia Yu found that the entire wine cellar was filled with a strong fragrance, which made people intoxicated.

“Boss, our wines are made in fine oak barrels, using local wild yeast, unlike some wineries that use commercial yeast and constant temperature stainless steel fermentation tanks.”

“Although this will make the process more cumbersome and costly, but only in this way can we guarantee the quality of our wines.”

“This is because we grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Oak barrels can make the ingredients in the wine blend tightly. This is good for wines such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with complex taste and suitable for aging. It’s especially important to say.”

“And oak barrels can add aromas of vanilla, cloves, leaves, nuts, roasting and caramel to wine. Oak barrels are also a place for secondary fermentation, which is unmatched by thermostatic stainless steel fermentation tanks…”

Andre Noble introduced to Xia Yu by pointing to the oak barrels stacked all around on the wooden shelves.

Xia Yu walked over and touched an oak barrel and looked at the time written on the bottom of the barrel. It was September 21, 1981.

Xia Yu looked at the wine barrels all around, and asked softly: “Old Noble, are all these brewed last year?”

André Noble shook his head, pointed to the two rows of oak barrels in front of him and said: “No, only these two rows are wines made last year. Our vineyard produces about 2500 liters a year, and It’s not like those large wineries with a production volume of seven to eighty thousand liters.”

Then he pointed to the oak barrel not far away and said: “The two columns were harvested and brewed on September 28, 1980.”

“The two farthest columns are the wines harvested on September 25, 1979.”

“There will be no more time, because oak barrels will be scrapped after three years at most. Therefore, the wine harvested on September 25, 1979, we will start bottling in March…”

Xia Yu was slightly nodded and said to Andre Nodded: “Where is the wine that has been bottled and stored before? Take me over to see.”

“Ok, please follow me!”

After that, Andre Noble took Xia Yu along a road and turned left and right to a large wooden door. After opening, he turned on the light in the storage room.

Suddenly, the view of the storage room came into view.

This is a straight arched passage. There seems to be a corner at the end, like a brick kiln. On both sides of the passage, there are wooden wine racks with slanting support. Each position on the wine rack is placed with a wine. The densely packed area is like a honeycomb, giving people a strong visual impact.

“Old Noble, how many bottles of wine are still in the storage? Is there a list of each vintage?”

I took out a bottle of wine at close range and found that it was marked in 1964. It was eighteen years ago. Xia Yu put the wine back in. I felt that there were so many wines that I couldn’t come over in a short time, so I went directly to Andre Noble asked.

“Yes, registration will be done every time you leave the warehouse and enter the warehouse. There is a special statistics room here, please follow me!”

After that, Andre Noble took Xia Yu again for a section of the road, came to an office, and took out a huge leather-covered notebook.

He put the book on the table, opened it, and introduced to Xia Yu: “Boss, here is the number of remaining wines for each age. The oldest wine in the current storehouse was produced in 1754, only Eleven bottles left!”

Xia Yu raised her eyebrows in surprise, and saw the top row of the table.

There is even 1754 wine, which has reached two hundred and twenty-eight years!

It’s older than the 1787 Lafite that Rothschild Family brought out!

But there are only eleven bottles, which is really rare!

Then Xia Yu followed the form and looked down.

There are five bottles of wine in 1755.

There are three bottles of wine in 1756.

Nothing from 1757 to 1761.

So 1756 is directly below 1762, and there are still thirteen bottles in storage.

There are many years of faults in the back.

According to André Noble’s explanation, it is because the weather in those vintages is not good and the tannins of the grapes produced are not full enough, so there is no way to have a long enough lifespan. Many have been stored for several decades or even more. It was all emptied in a century, and long-term storage of wines with insufficient tannins would only make the taste worse and worse.

……

A statistic was made until 1800, and there were a total of 129 bottles of wine before.

Then the number of wines between 1801 and 1900 was a bit more, reaching 525 bottles.

This is definitely a huge treasure house!

The reason why Romani Conti Winery is so valuable is that these stored aged wines are a very important factor!

Looking at the post 1900, the closer we are to the present, the greater the amount of storage.

Of course, there is an exception. For example, in 1945, there are still four hundred and twenty bottles in storage.

But in the six years from 1946 to 1951, no bottle of wine was stored.

Seeing Xia Yu’s sight staying there, Andre Noble immediately explained: “Boss, because of the annual climate change, the annual grape production will change, and the grapes produced in high-yield years can even be More than 9,000 wines were made, so the proportion of new wines used for long-term storage after ten years was different. However, in 1945, due to hail attack, most of the vines died, and only 600 bottles of wine were made that year. Because the quantity is small, the total storage ratio is very high.”
