    Meng Zhe is not greedy for money, he just regrets that he did not think of accepting this good thing. It would be a very honorable thing to give it away!

    Roman¨¦e-Conti, the top winery in France, is a super winery located in the core of the C?te de Nuits region in the Bugin region. It can single-handedly elevate the red wine estates in the Bugin region to be on par with Bordeaux.  status.  []

    There are 7 top-level wineries in the village of Vaughan Romani to which it belongs.

    Among them, the Conti Winery owns two complete top wine-level parks: the 1.805-hectare Romanee-Conti Winery and the 6.06-hectare Latache Winery, so the bottles of these two wines will be marked with the word "monopole"  , indicating exclusive ownership.

    In addition, it also owns about 3.51 hectares of Richburg winery, 5.29 hectares of Romanee Saint-Vivant winery, 3.53 hectares of Grand Eichiso winery, 4.67 hectares of Eichiso winery and less than 0.6759 hectares of top-quality white wine.  Wine garden Monttrachet.  The wines produced here are all high-quality, especially the Roman¨¦e-Conti winery.

    Covering an area of ??about 1.805 hectares, Romanee-Conti's yield is still very low despite intensive farming. An average of about 10,000 grapes are planted per hectare, and the annual output is controlled at about 2,500 liters. On average, only one bottle of wine can be produced for every three grapes. The average annual output is only  About 6,000 bottles, less than 1% of the output of Lafite Winery

    50.

    The area of ??Chateau Petrus is 6 times that of Roman¨¦e-Conti, but its output is 10 times that of Roman¨¦e-Conti.  Chateau Roman¨¦e-Conti was officially designated as a top wine by France on September 11, 1936.

    The grapes used to brew Romanee-Conti red wine are the noble variety Pinot Noir. Romanee-Conti perfectly presents the charming characteristics of Pinot Noir, with a rich and lasting aroma, exquisite and mellow, fine and powerful tannins, balanced and condensed  Shrunken, with a velvety texture that is smooth and elegant, it almost combines the advantages of top-quality Pinot Noir.

    "Meng, didn't Porter give you a large sum of money in Monte Carlo? You can consider building a wine cellar after you return!" Jon began to encourage Meng Zhe.

    "Oh, that's a good idea." Mrs. Jon voted in favor.

    "Haha, you know this."

    Meng Zhe smiled calmly. Jon knew it was inevitable. He was also a member of the rich circle.

    "This matter has been spread. Come on, let's go get the bottle of Petrus and take you to visit my wine cellar."

    ¡°Jon, I¡¯d love to visit your wine cellar, forget about tasting that bottle of Petrus.¡±

    "Why? Didn't we all agree on that day." Jon felt confused.

    "That's right, Jon, please listen to me. I came here from so far away, and I haven't had the chance to taste your best regional wine! So I really want to drink it at your house." Meng Zhe  Said very sincerely.

    Meng Zhe had just heard what Jon and his wife were saying. They cherished from the bottom of their hearts the bottle of 61 Petrus that no amount of money could buy, and it was now the treasure of their cellar.  Due to feelings, you can't go back on your word, otherwise it will be dishonorable.

    "Since you said so, then we will do as you wish." After hearing what he said, Jon followed suit.

    What Jon and his wife treated Meng Zhe to drink during the meal was Vindepays, the most famous regional wine in Provence, France.

    "The taste is great! Why is such a high-quality wine only table wine?" Meng Zhe heard Jon's regret for this wine.

    "Although this wine is sought after by many people, it is simply not sold enough. But because it has no local characteristics, it failed to pass the production place designation after applying for it for three years, so it can only be used as a regional table wine." Meng Zhe did not know about this bottle  Table wine costs more than 600 francs.

    "Then why can't it pass?" Meng Zhe was very interested in this.

    ¡°Because it has no local characteristics!¡±

    Seeing that Meng Zhe was very interested in French wine culture, Jon explained it to him in detail.

    It turns out that the table wine he drank just now is recognized by many people because it is blended with 50% of the grape variety Merlot (me

    Lot), according to the regulations of baux, after it exceeds 20%, it is not considered a local grape variety, and the taste will naturally change, so it does not have the characteristics of baux.

    Regulations such as baux play a very important role in protecting the main characteristics and main characteristics of wine.

    "Is it difficult to apply for a place of origin?"

    "certainly!"

    In many ¡°New World¡± regions (that is, regions outside of Europe), wines are classified by grape variety¡ªsuch as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Chardonnay.  French wines are usually classified according to their place of origin.

    ¡°Each origin has a very strict terroir and a.o.c. The origin naming system plays a huge role in protecting French wine culture.¡±

    Terroir is the most important factor in French wine making.An important term.  It includes many concepts, such as microclimate, landform, soil composition, etc.

    These reasons will make subtle differences between vineyards and vineyards.  France has specially named production areas and vineyards based on terroir.

    From table wine to a.o.c.  (legal production area), this designation is divided into four levels.

    a.o.c.  It is a guarantee for the quality and variety of wine, and legally protects these production areas and combats counterfeiting.

    Each region has its own set of a.o.c.  Certification covers all villages in the district.

    There will be ** a.o.c in the area.  It is for some vineyards with particularly special terroir.

    "The production area I just talked about is just the first step in distinguishing the taste of wine."

    After listening to his words, Meng Zhe suddenly understood the truth. No matter how good the wine is, without the main characteristics of the place, it is not considered a local product.

    Just like someone treats you to Peking duck, you already know what the duck tastes like before you even take it into your mouth.  This is how people are familiar with the characteristics of property owners.

    Many areas where watering is not allowed are strictly stipulated by law. Even if the grapes die of drought, watering is not allowed!  Of course, grapevines generally survive drought.  Meng Zhe was shocked by such strict legal regulations.

    There is a book for each place of origin, which clearly records the definition of the region, accurate to the number of degrees and seconds of east longitude, using such precise units.

    Although the grapevine plants are close together, the name of the place of origin is no longer in the row.  This allowed Meng Zhe to understand the secret to the success of French wines taking the world by storm - the designation of origin control system.

    ¡°Jon, you gave me a new appreciation for French wine.¡±

    "Meng, I just talked a little bit. If I talked about it all, I wouldn't be able to finish it for days and nights." After dinner, Meng Zhe was invited to Qiaoen's living room for tea.
