The sommelier smiled slightly, "I'm already very surprised. After all, this is a Romanée-Conti brewed in the Xinyuan era! If it is aged for a few more years, it will definitely become better. It is one of the three gods of wine. In fact, Romanée-Conti is not as good as Crohaba, which is what the question should mean. It is easy to compare from the output. Henry Jayer is more demanding. He brews these top wines every year. It’s just a few tungs, but the average output of Romanee-Conti is still 5,000 bottles a year, which is several times more than that of Henri Jaye.”
Hearing their comments, Gaite frowned, "Several, please follow me to see Master Dwylan."
The three nodded at the same time, and soon, they returned to the ancient tree.
Aubert and Dwylan did not immediately ask them about their wine tasting experience, their old voices were more vicissitudes than before.
"Actually, I should have died a long time ago. I should have left this world two hundred years ago. However, I am not willing to leave like this."
"I have always been conflicted in my heart. When I was young, what I pursued was to be a top winemaker. All the teachers who taught me told me that I am very talented. Whether it is in taste or grapes As well as the feeling of liquor, I have a unique advantage."
"At that time, I worked very hard and improved almost every day, and I was constantly improving every day. Soon, I began to emerge and become an excellent winemaker. However, as time went by, I gradually discovered that in the There is a strange thing in the world of red wine, the better the wine is, the poorer the winery will be. Because the top quality wine must be brewed in the harshest way, even when picking the grapes. The full moon is fine. If there is no full moon night, it is better to let the grapes rot in the soil than to use it to make wine. Only in this way can the best wine be made. However, those wineries that make ordinary wine and cheap wine are particularly good. Money. Their wines are of poor quality, but their sales volume is huge, the largest wine merchant in Burgundy can sell 8 million bottles of wine a year."
"At that time, my world view was impacted, why not the best things earn the most money? So, I started researching, and it took me 30 years to find the balance point. This is how DRC came into existence. However, before I knew it, my perception of wine and grapes was no longer so keen, and the money I spent made my heart start to become impetuous."
"In the early years, I never regarded Henry Jiaye as an opponent, because in my eyes, he was just an ordinary and simple farmer, and I am indeed the heir of the Devlan family, who owns 50% of the shares of DRC However, when I really made DRC the top wine merchant in Burgundy, I found that I could no longer catch up with him.”
"At that time, I gradually realized that I was really inferior to him. It turned out that my favorite thing was still winemaking. So, I started to try to catch up. Together with La Robes, I worked hard to develop biodynamics. Learn how to make wine, and try your best to improve the quality of DRC. During that time, we made a lot of innovations together. I am the happiest. Every day with Beth, we work together, our relationship is getting better and better. Finally, one day, I think, our wine is good enough, so we invited An old farmer like Henry Jaye."
"Henri Jaye came to our winery, and I personally took him around. I want to show him how powerful our DRC is and how great our biodynamics are."
"However, after seeing it, he said that for him, the vine is like his own life and his partner. When the vine is sick, it needs to be given a proper amount of fertilizer. When the vine needs something, it should be given something instead of deliberately pursuing a concept.”
"At that time, I was very unconvinced, so I said to him, can your wine be comparable to my Romanée-Conti? Production. After tasting Romanée-Conti, he told me that he would help me brew Romanée-Conti for one year. Let me give him some grapes from the Conti Garden.”
"At that time, I was very proud. I agreed to his request, and together with Beth, I also brewed the Romanee-Conti of that year by myself. Then, we worked hard together and devoted ourselves to the winemaking. Middle. That was also the only time Henry Jiaye made wine in DRC. He would come every day to see the few vines I allocated to him and see what he was doing there every day.”
"Soon, more than two years have passed. The wine we brewed at the beginning can be bottled. Together with Beth and I, we brewed 20 barrels of Romanee-Conti, adding up to 6,000 bottles. And What he brews is only a small barrel, which can only hold 150 bottles. But according to the number of grape fields I gave him, he should be able to produce at least 500 bottles. At the beginning, I thought he was greedy for ink Grapes, but he told me that he didn’t have any, and the reason why there are so few is because there are only so few that meet his standards.”
"Thus, two bottles of Romanée-Conti wines were placed on the table, but the winemakers on them had his and Beth's names written on them. At that time, Beth and I did not believe that the more familiar Conti would Not as good as him."
Speaking of this, Aubert and Devillan paused, "However, when two glasses of Romanée-Conti that looked the same color were really placed in front of us, we soon suffered the biggest failure in our lives. Henri Jiaye just smelled our brewed Conti, he stood up and said to me, thank you for giving him the opportunity to deal with the vines in the Canti Vineyard, and all the Romanée Conti he brewed will be given to me and Beth died. Then he went away."
"I thought he was admitting defeat. However, when I smelled the Canti brewed by him and felt the extremely strong tannins and the fragrance beyond imagination, I knew that I was wrong. Beth and I Lost, and lost so badly. Henri Jaye spent more than two years telling us with his method what the most powerful wine should taste like."
"It hit me so hard, so hard, that I didn't even recover for a while. To make it even more painful, Beth left me. She went to Henry Jayer's vineyard and started working with him. Wine making. Even though I knew that she went to him only because of his wine making skills, but in my heart, I was still full of jealousy and resentment. I worked desperately, hoping to surpass Henry Jiaye in wine making, I also used the harshest way to select grapes. However, his wines began to appear, such as Henri Jayer’s Keluo Habadong, Ishus, and Li Qibao. They turned out. Although because of the small production volume, he could not affect To my DRC, but from that moment on, I am no longer the God of Dionysus. There will always be only one person who can ascend to the altar."
"Later, he died. Haha, he died. I went to find Beth, hoping she could come back to me. But Beth was unwilling. Beth said that she fell in love with Henry Jiaye, even if it was He was dead, and she would love him forever. Then Beth gave up her share in DRC and returned to her own family estate to run the LEROY brand."
"It is always rumored that I kicked her out of DRC, but who knows my pain? In my life, the only woman I have ever loved is her. However, she fell in love with one, and I will never Impossible to beat."
"I live strong, and there is only one belief that supports me to survive, and that is to surpass Henry Jiaye! Although he died, there are still wines handed down, so I bought a lot of his wine at a large price. Every day I’m not as good as him, I’ll make wine for one day, and every year I’m not as good as him, I’ll make wine for one year. The environment on my home planet is getting worse and worse, and my hope is getting slimmer, but I’m not reconciled. I can't die. So, I spent a lot of time transforming my body, merging my body with the oldest vine. In order to live longer, I gradually became a vine, I believe In this way, I will be able to understand grapes better and make better wines. One day my Romanée-Conti will understand better than Henri Jayer's Krohaba! One day!"
Auber de Vilan's voice became more and more high-pitched, and his emotions seemed to be a little out of control.
Listening to the resentment of this generation of Dionysus towards another deceased Dionysus, Lan Jue frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing?" Aubert and Dwylan suddenly asked coldly.
Lan Jue said: "Because I feel that if you maintain such a mood and competitive spirit, you may never be able to defeat Senior Henry Jiaye."
Aubert and Dwylan were furious, and the vines on the vine waved vigorously, "Why? What qualifications do you have to say that?"
Lan Jue said: "Of course I am not qualified to evaluate the wines of you and Master Henry Jiaye, but I think that a good winemaker should really like wine, not use it as a tool to compete. You You are right, you have extremely high talent. In this regard, I believe that Master Henry Jiaye may not be better than you. However, your mentality determines the outcome. Too strong a competitive spirit prevents you from The way to really understand grapes and wine, at least compared with Henry Jayer’s predecessors, is like this.”
