The so-called blind tasting is to distinguish through tasting without knowing what wine it is.
"Blind tasting? Okay!" Lan Jue said with a smile, "However, don't give me wine that's too bad. I can't taste it if it's too bad."
The sommelier smiled slightly, took out a wine bottle from the nearby wine cabinet and placed it in front of Lan Jue. The wine bottle is empty, without any wine label, but there is a lot of dust on it. But from the color of the wine in the bottle, it can be seen that this is a bottle of red wine.
The sommelier picked up the Seahorse Knife, opened the bottle, took two glasses, and poured a glass for himself and Lan Jue respectively.
Lan Jue didn't go directly to drink, but picked up a glass of white water, cleared his mouth, and then picked up the glass and brought it to his nose.
Shake the wine glass lightly, then poke your nose into the rim of the glass and take a light sniff.
In the next moment, Lan Jue's facial expression changed drastically. It was amazed, praised, shocked and unbelievable.
"This, this is..."
While speaking, he had already picked up the glass and shone the liquid in the glass towards the light.
The wine liquid is not the transparent ruby-like color of most red wines, but slightly lighter in color, and even slightly cloudy. However, when Lan Jue saw this color, he almost blurted out, "Burgundy, DRC?"
The sommelier smiled and said nothing.
Not long ago, Lan Jue just made him bleed heavily and drank a bottle of the god's legacy, Romanee-Conti. Romanee-Conti is the most famous representative of Burgundy red wine. Also the king of DRC. DRC is the name of a company in the Burgundy region of Upper Proterozoic France, and they manage many of the best red wine regions. It is the most famous company in Burgundy.
So, just smelling the fragrance, Lan Jue made his first judgment.
"Try it." The sommelier made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time picked up his glass.
Lan Jue took a big sip, the wine stayed in his mouth, just waited for a moment, the sweetness of the top-quality red wine burst out instantly, and the rich and fragrant aroma filled every part of his mouth in an instant, even though it was not as royal as Romanee-Conti. The magic of the world, but it also conquers any wine lovers.
After a long while, Lan Jue came back to his senses and praised: "Good wine. Only those Burgundians in ancient France in the upper Yuan Dynasty can produce such a rich taste with a single grape, floral, fruity, plum The taste is enduring. From the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue, and then back from the root of the tongue. Whether it is the front taste or the back, it is full of texture. The tannins are smooth, although not as silky as Romanee-Conti, but it is also comparable Not far away."
"So, in your judgment, what is it?" the taster pressed.
Lan Jue said without hesitation: "It should be Latashi from DRC, or Dayi Xiusi. The year is around 2002 in the Shangyuan Era."
The sommelier smiled, very happily.
"wrong!"
"Wrong?" Lan Jue was stunned for a moment, "Is the wine wrong, or the year wrong? It can't be anything else! However, DRC is too rare, and I really don't drink much, and it is possible to make a slight judgment error. Could it be Is it DRC's Li Qibao, or Saint-Vivant? Surely it can't be Saint-Vivant? Saint-Vivant doesn't seem to be able to reach this level."
"Wrong, wrong, all wrong." The sommelier said proudly, taking a sip of the wine in the glass, he also expressed admiration.
"Wine taster, there's no point in cheating." Lan Jue firmly believed in his own judgment.
The taster asked, "How many levels are there in Burgundy?"
Lan Jue said: "Four, the lowest level is called AOC, then the village, also called the village level, and the higher one is the first level garden, and the top Burgundy is called the grand cru garden, like several branches under the DRC. Famous fine wines are all grand cru. Romanée-Conti is one of the masterpieces, the world's wine king."
The sommelier said calmly, "The bottle you drank just now is Village."
"What?" Lan Jue stood up abruptly, almost knocking down the chair behind him. It is because the sommelier's words are too subversive.
"Impossible, how can a bottle of village-level wine have the taste of DRC, just inferior to Romanee-Conti. Sommelier, you should know that red wine is my most important hobby, don't joke with me about this. "
The sommelier smiled slightly, "Your reaction is the same as mine. When I drank this wine for the first time, I had the same reaction as yours. It was even more intense than yours. This is subversive. However, when I knew the truth later, I realized that I was not wrong, nor was I subverted, because the cup of Village in your hand should be so strong. Although it is a village, if I want Say another name, and you'll know why it's so powerful."
"The world only knows that the world's wine king is Romanée-Conti, but in ancient France, there used to be three major wine gods, do you know?"
Lan Jue was stunned, "The three gods of wine, are you talking about the three master winemakers in Burgundy back then, the three known as gods of wine?"
The sommelier nodded, yes, "The three world-recognized gods of wine are the owner of DRC, Auber de Vilan, the shareholder of DRC, La Robes who later left DRC to run the family winery LEORY, and the independent winemaker Master, Henry Jayer."
"Aubert de Vellain created the entire DRC world. The most famous Romanee-Conti is his most perfect work. The world's god of wine is well-deserved, and he also has a strong business acumen when it comes to running wineries."
"Ms. LaRobes, who used to be a shareholder of DRC, later had a different idea from Auberge de Villain. She was excluded from the board of directors and became an independent winemaker in anger. She ran the family brand LEORY, so she was also called Lehua Ms. Write a generation of legends. At that time, I started the bio-brewing method together with Auber de Villin."
"And the last one, Henry Jayer, among the three gods of wine, his name appears the least. However, in the entire wine world, his name always ranks first. No matter In any red wine auction, as long as this name appears, it must be the first in the auction. If Romanee-Conti is the world's wine king, then the three top wines brewed by Henri Jayer are The world's wine king, what's even more strange is that his most representative wine is not a grand cru, but a wine made from a first-class cru. It's called Kohabadong. It's a mouthful name, but it is always invincible. "
Lan Jue looked at the wine bottle without any wine label in front of him, and murmured: "You won't tell me that the bottle in front of you is brewed by one of the three gods of wine, right?"
The sommelier smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "That's right. Although this bottle is a village, it's only a village level. However, its brewer is the head of the three Dionysus, and the annual output of any wine is only Hundreds of bottles, famous master Henri Jayer in the Yuan Dynasty."
