Inherit For Three Thousand Years

"Then what do you think of Latour Castle in 2005?" Yuan Zan didn't want to lose face in front of the school girl, he was very generous in his shots.

Jiang Shanshan said: "You can do whatever you want. I don't have much research on red wine, so I just have to have such a meaning."

Since Jiang Shanshan had no objection, Yuan Zan called the waiter over and ordered another bottle of Latour Castle from 2005.

"Yuan Zan, you are treating it differently. A bottle of Latour Castle in 2005 costs nearly 24,000 yuan. The bottle of red wine you ordered just now is 7,000. If you can't give us a satisfactory statement, He must be punished." Yue Wentong went further to fight for more alliances, "Is everyone right? Should he be punished?"

"It really deserves to be punished! And it has to be severely punished!" Bao Xiaolei responded first to the one who was also ignored.

Yue Wentong found a reason to punish Yuan Zan for drinking. This kind of thing has nothing to do with watching the big show. Naturally, no one objected, and everyone helped.

Although Yuan Zan drank a lot of wine, he was not confused yet. He opened his mouth and said, "There were only two big beauties here, and now there are three big beauties. Of course, the quality of red wine has to be raised by another level. It’s the respect for the majority of women. If I was punished for this, wouldn’t I be too wronged?"

"It seems that you haven't drunk too much, your mind is so clear, and everyone will have to respect Mr. Yuan a few glasses of wine later." Yue Wentong felt uncomfortable and wanted to find someone to vent his anger, but he couldn't do too much. , Can only click to the end.

The bottle of Latour Castle in 2005 ordered by Yuan Zan was clearly ordered for Jiang Shanshan. Everyone knows this.

After earnest investigation, Yuan Zan's approach is indeed improper. The drinks ordered vary from person to person, which clearly made a distinction in his mind.

Obviously, Yue Wentong and Bao Xiaolei's position in Yuan Zan's mind is far inferior to Jiang Shanshan.

None of the male classmates in the room drank the bottle of red wine that I ordered just now. It was completely digested by Yue Wentong and Bao Xiaolei.

Now that Jiang Shanshan is here, Yuan Zan specially ordered a bottle of higher-grade red wine for her. The significance of this is self-evident.

It is also a school girl, in front of so many classmates, Yuan Zan treats them differently, and Yue Wentong is the one who is not taken seriously. Naturally, Yue Wentong feels that his face is a bit unsuccessful.

Fortunately, she only cared about face, not the kind of people with small stomachs, she was just a little uncomfortable in her heart, and let Yuan Zan know what was wrong when she said it, and the matter was over.

Yuan Zan’s emotional quotient is not low. He just saw the arrival of the goddess in his mind suddenly. He was a little bit passionate. He was unavoidably impulsive in doing things. Now he was targeted by two female classmates. Look carefully, Latour in 2005 is quite rare. The Parker team scored 98 points, James Sucklin’s score was 99 points, and the score of "Wine Spectator" was also 99 points, which is even worse than Latour in 2004. It's much better. A bottle of Latour Castle in 2004 is about 8,000 yuan, and a bottle of Latour Castle in 2005 is about 12,000 yuan. The price gap will definitely be even greater in the future."

Yuan Zan talked about the related knowledge of red wine, and he really opened the topic, and everyone began to discuss the professional knowledge of red wine.

Except for Xiao Yao and Yuan Zan, everyone in the room is basically just a little bit about the professional knowledge of red wine. It is because they don’t understand that, when Yuan Zan talks about this topic, they are more interested and want to know. More in order to make up for its own shortcomings.

Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on him, Yuan Zan became more and more characterful. “ChateauLatour is located in the Bordeaux-Médoc-producing area of ​​Bordeaux, France, which is rich in famous wines. It is one of the top five first-class estates in Bordeaux and is known as France. A national treasure-class winery in Latour. Chateau Latour has 92 hectares of vineyards, of which the grapes planted in the 47 hectares of vineyards known as the'paddock' are used to make the winery’s authentic wine.

This 47 hectares of land is considered by many Bordeaux experts to have the best terroir in Bordeaux. The vineyards of the winery are planted with 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and more flavor. The number of vines per hectare is 9,000, and the total number of vines is 800,000. . The average age of the vines in the Chateau Latour vineyard is 40 years, and the oldest vines are more than 100 years old. "

Xiao Yao found it very interesting to listen to Yuan Zan talking and talking about it, and the audience listened very attentively.

Although Yuan Zan’s understanding of Latour is a bit on paper, he has a good memory, at least he is right.

"After harvesting, Chateau Latour sorts the grapes according to the characteristics of different terroirs, then removes the stems and squeezes them, and then puts them in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank for about 3 weeks of fermentation to fully extract the multiple flavors of the grapes. The fermentation is complete. In the following month, the winery will carry out malolactic fermentation of the wine liquor. In this process, the wine becomes softer, rounder, and finer.

After the first tasting, the winemaker compares the styles of the liquid wine in different stainless steel tanks, then mixes the wine liquid, and then transfers it to oak barrels for maturation.

In mid-January of the following year, the winery's winemaker team will conduct a second tasting to determine which liquors are used as genuine, secondary and third-brand wines.

At this time, the winemaker will also taste the pressed wine, and appropriately select high-quality pressed wine and artesian wine for mixing. The oak barrels selected by the winery come from forests in central France, and the authentic wines are matured in new oak barrels every year.

In 2012, the winery decided not to sell en-age wine, and the wine will continue to be aged in the winery after bottling. The cellar aging time of the main brand wine, the second brand wine and the third brand wine are 8-10 years, 6-8 years, and 4-6 years respectively. In other words, the authentic wines brewed after 2012 will not be available until at least 2020. "

"I only know the brand of Latour Castle. Does Latour have a second card and three cards? I really don't know what the brands are." Jia Xueru didn't know how to pretend to understand, but sincerely asked for advice.

Even Jia Xueru is so enthusiastic, Yuan Zan explained more vigorously, "Latour Castle has three masters, they are the original wine Latour Castle, the second wine Latour Fortress, and the third wine Latu Bojak."

"It turns out that Latu also has a second-brand wine like our Moutai and Wuliangye, and has gained knowledge. Is there a big difference between these three kinds of wine?" Jia Xueru continued to ask.

Yuan Zan continued: “The difference is quite big. Among them, the authentic wine is strong, thick, full of aromas such as black currant and delicate black cherry, and has great aging potential, which means that it can be stored for a longer period of time. Time. Second-brand wine and third-brand wine are naturally slightly inferior to the original wine in terms of taste, and the aging potential is also worse."
