The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Rows of red wine were arranged row by row according to the variety and year, and Yang Dongxu stood in front of the red wine produced by Chateau Lafite.

After all, Lafite in 1982 is so famous, so he came up with a lot of Internet slang, for example, give me a bottle of Coke in 1982, or give me a steamed bun in 1982, etc.

"Lafite is one of the top five Bordeaux wineries in France with a long history. The taste of red wine is characterized by outstanding floral and fruity aromas. The taste is mellow, soft and elegant, and is known as the queen of the wine kingdom." Hayes introduced in a low voice. with.

"Who is the king in the red wine kingdom?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking curiously, with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed a little funny.

I don't know why in Europe and America, people always feel that the queen seems to be more amazing than the king. This astonishment may be due to the legends of some beautiful queens, or the fact that all the queens who once became queens in Europe and America are so amazing. After all, compared with men born to inherit the throne, women pay more to sit in this position much.

"Romanee-Conti Winery, the fantasy king in the red wine kingdom. Compared with the domineering kings of the ancient rulers, he is like a king of young noble gentlemen, who can give every girl dreamy tenderness and romance." Hayes eyes Shiny, like a girl falling in love.

Yang Dongxu shrugged his shoulders inexplicably. He can taste some of the red wine, good or bad. As for the silky smooth, dreamy romance, etc., maybe his natural appreciation skills are really insufficient, even if he is so rich now. , and there is no way to taste these things from red wine.

At the same time, in his heart, Château Romani is more like a queen, while Lafite is the king. Although he doesn't know much about wine tasting, he was curious about this knowledge before. Romanée-Conti is more like a girl in the evaluation of sommeliers, with elegant fragrance and wonderful aroma, while Lafite's mellowness is more like a man.

"Then do you want to drink the king or the queen tonight?" He asked with a smile, it has nothing to do with him who is the king or the queen, anyway, he is going to open a bottle of good wine to celebrate today. Especially if it is someone else's good wine that you don't feel bad about yourself, then you will feel more happy.

"Leafy." Hayes said.

"Why? Could it be that Lafite fits better with today's atmosphere?"

"Although Romanée-Conti has a long history and is one of the best wineries, there are not many good vintages. Only 1952, 1990 and 1995 are outstanding. Among all red wines, at least the top three, Even for the first time in existence.

The 52-year-old wine is too far away from now. It is suitable to be taken alone to invite some like-minded friends to taste together, rather than as an auxiliary wine when having dinner.

The wines of 90 and 95 are too young, and perhaps they will be the most aromatic after 2010, and it is not the perfect time to open them now. Hayes pursed her red lips lightly. Although she hadn't drunk yet, she seemed to have imagined the unparalleled enjoyment brought by the taste of fine wine filling her mouth.

"What about Lafite? Do you want to choose the one from 1982?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.

As for the statement that the 52-year-old Romanee-Conti needs to have a good time on the set instead of being bored at the dinner table, he didn't have much to say. Anyway, in his opinion, wine is for drinking, and when drinking, he only depends on his own mood. As for the occasion, drinking method and process, do they match this wine?

I'm sorry. I've never accommodated anyone, let alone a bottle of wine. Perhaps from a professional point of view, he is right, and can bring out the taste of fine wine to the extreme, but he feels that being happy is the most important thing.

"It was in 1996." Hayes had a professional but not friendly smile on her face.

"Isn't this year young?"

"Compared to the better vintages of Lafite, the Lafite wines of 1996 and 1998 are also very good, very suitable for drinking at dinner." Hayes explained.

Yang Dongxu shrugged his shoulders, and couldn't help thinking: This is suitable for dinner, probably because these two wines are not bad, but they are not good enough, so it is not a waste to drink even if the taste of food is mixed in the mouth.

"Then choose Romanee-Conti in 1952." Yang Dongxu pointed to the shelf in another area.

That is the area where Romanee-Conti red wine is located. When all the red wine in the wine cellar is divided into areas, in addition to being arranged according to variety and year, a brand of red wine also has a separate design.

For example, the most conspicuous thing on the Lafite side is a separate display shelf. The bottle of 82-year-old Lafite is like a queen surrounded by red wines of other vintages in the center.

As for the Romanee-Conti red wine area, what is guarded in the center is naturally the extraordinary existence of a bottle of 52-year-old Claes.

"Ah?" Hayes subconsciously exclaimed, with an unbelievable expression on her face. It seemed that she couldn't believe that a bottle of such a legendary red wine was about to be opened tonight, and she was lucky enough to taste it.

But this kind of red wine is really not suitable for dinner, drinking like this is simply a kind of blasphemy against this wine. But there was an unconcealable look of hope in her eyes, and she wanted to taste the legendary red wine very much.

Not only Hayes, but even the butler who stood quietly by the side and watched Yang Dongxu choose the wine after entering the wine cellar. When Yang Dongxu pointed to 52 Romanee-Conti, there was a look of surprise on his face that shouldn't have been shown.

You must know that he has been professionally trained, and he is a top butler with a British Royal Butler Diploma. Such an expression that shouldn't appear in his profession unexpectedly showed such a violent fluctuation in his heart.

"Help me pack it, and take it with me when I leave tomorrow." Yang Dongxu gasped for breath as he spoke, and the corner of his mouth turned up to reveal a mischievous smile.

"Don't even think about it." Toy's voice sounded from behind, and then the middle-aged fat man, whose body had grown a lot horizontally, trotted over in three steps and two steps, blocking in front of his baby.

"It took me a long time to find such a bottle of 52-year-old Romanée-Conti. You don't want to take it away." Toy stared at Yang Dongxu angrily, as if Yang Dongxu wanted this bottle of wine unless he stepped on his dead body.

"There's no need to be so nervous, right? I won't take it away." Yang Dongxu gave Troy a stingy look, and the next moment a mischievous smile appeared on his face again, "I don't take it away, why don't we take it away tonight?" Drink it up."

"Don't even think about it!" Toy roared, with the tendency to roll up his sleeves and fight Yang Dongxu.

"Okay, okay, if you don't drink it, why do you have such a big reaction." Yang Dongxu curled his lips, "Just follow Miss Hayes's recommendation, let's drink Lafite from 1996 tonight. But I have to share the wine. bottle."

Yang Dongxu turned around and pointed to the Lafite in 1982 who was guarded in the middle behind him. Compared with the Romanee-Conti in 1952, a single seedling was the king in the red wine area of ​​his own brand, and the number of queens here in 1982 was very large. Nevermind.

"Up to two bottles." Toy said through gritted teeth.

"Don't be so stingy, I don't want to bring me an extra box." Yang Dongxu said.

Troy stared at him angrily, just when Hayes and the housekeeper were worried whether he would hit someone. He sprayed hot air from his nostrils, "Maximum 4 bottles, if there are more, we will have a fight to decide the outcome, and after you take away Lafite, you are not allowed to call my attention on other wines."

"All right, all right, just follow what you said. Four bottles is four bottles, isn't it just a few bottles of wine, as for? Next time you go to China, I will open a bottle of good wine for you to entertain you."

"Take one of the four bottles of Lafite?" Troy asked.

Although his wine cellar is priceless, the good wine in it makes everyone greedy. But this does not mean that he can drink these things every day. For example, for Lafite in 1982, one bottle is less. Normally, he would just watch it and get addicted to his eyes, but if he could get other awesome red wine, he would drink a little to celebrate.

"You're a rich man anyway, and the cross swords worth millions of pounds are the kind you buy casually. Don't act as if you haven't had a good drink."

"I just haven't had a good drink, or I'll go to China with you tomorrow, where you open a bottle of wine and we drink."

"How can you go to China with red wine? I will open a bottle of Moutai to entertain you, and the taste of the original wine will definitely meet your taste."

Toy is a Russian, so the liquor brewed from pure grains is indeed in line with his taste.

"It's also the original wine from 1982?"

"What's so good about 1982? I'll open a bottle of 1997 for you. The special version to celebrate Hong Kong's return to China is absolutely delicious."

"You're a rich man anyway, can you stop being so stingy?" Troy returned Yang Dongxu's words to him.

"It's not being stingy, but going to China to drink baijiu naturally is the warm and distinctive hospitality." Yang Dongxu said without blushing.

"You're still as thick-skinned as before." Toy stared at Yang Dongxu speechlessly.

Yang Dongxu didn't take it seriously at all, he was stared at for a few bottles of 1982 Lafite, he really wanted to be stared at like this every day.

"Next time he comes to the manor as a guest, forbid him to enter my wine cellar." Troy told the butler next to him.

But anyone could tell that he was joking. If Yang Dongxu really took away the bottle of 52-year-old Romanee-Conti, maybe he would be very distressed.

After all, it's not a matter of money or not. At the point where he and Yang Dongxu are now, they don't care about such a small amount of money at all, but the problem is that even if they have money, they can't buy such wine.

As for Lafite in 1982, it must be depressing to be blackmailed and take away 4 bottles. But it's just a matter of depression. Although there are fewer and fewer Lafites in 1982, if he wants to look for them, he can still find some and bring them back for collection.

"By the way, I remember that you also like to collect wine bars, why do you want to blackmail me?" He took out a bottle of 1996 Lafite and gave it to the butler to sober up and prepare dinner. Troy remembered that Yang Dongxu seemed to be the same A wine collector.

And the collection of good wines is much more than he estimated. You must know that when Zhou Ya was managing overseas business in a foreign country, in addition to various investment companies, collection was also one of the things she did, and the collection of things was very important. Red wine is a big category in the category.

I think when he was still in Russia, he helped collect some good wine.

"Those wines are too expensive to bear to drink." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Toy gritted his teeth and really wanted to hit someone.
