In my opinion, whether it is Chinese or Japanese food, including French food, the biggest secret to becoming a top-notch dish is the sense of ritual.

There are delicious dishes in every country, and there are many ingredients to cherish, but only by showing off can diners realize that rare things are precious.

I heard that the talented woman Lin Huiyin had to perform a ritual before writing a poem at night. She bathed incense, burned a cup of tea, a piano, and a thread-bound book...

Even if what I wrote was a smack of shit,

It was also a bubble of excrement filled with self-comfort.

The next day I set out to Bordeaux and strolled on the streets. The city, a world cultural heritage site, did not have too much renovation and renovation, and still maintained the style of Louis XV.

It’s not interesting to take a walk around, so I headed straight to the suburbs of Lafite Winery. It was founded in 1763 and was named after the highlands on the right bank of the Galong River. The word Lafite meant a hill at that time.

Getting off the car and looking around, Chen Feng was surprised to find that there was no other sign in the huge vineyard except for the small blue Lafite sign sign, and there was not even a guardrail or fence?

It is quiet everywhere, like Lafite's extremely elegant and meticulous personality, waiting for the visit of the wine lover.

No matter who it is, you cannot enter the visit without the consent of the Paris Houchi office. The headquarters will first strictly inspect the identity and conditions of the visitors, and then tell us which day and when we can visit.

Of course, as a shareholder, the Edward family is naturally not within the regulations!

As soon as I walked outside the manor, a big tree covered a corner of the manor and walked around the big tree. There was a beautiful lawn behind it. Opposite was the small pond and weeping willows seen on the Lafite wine label.

Although the workers and ladies working in the wine label no longer exist, the persimmon trees in the garden in front of you, the moped car parked by the pond, the quiet and abundant land beside you, and the white castle that is as quiet as a virgin behind you, all reveal the elegant, delicate, mellow and soft queen style here.

"Rothschilds!"

Chen Feng looked at the family logo in front of him, and five arrows passed through the crown, representing the five sons of the most powerful family in the world, moving forward together, uniting and working together to create glory.

It is simply well-known for this mysterious family. The novel "Currency War" predicts that the family has $50 trillion in assets and even controls the Fed's every move!

The commercial field involved in the early 19th century has been introduced for more than 500 pages. There was once a family documentary with as many as 153 types of insects named Rothschild!

There are 58 species of birds, 18 species of mammals, 14 species of plants, three species of fish and spiders, three islands, and countless banks and streets...

There are more than 150 kinds of wines alone, and the two of the five first-class Bordeaux famous houses: Lafite Castle and Mouton Castle are both their back gardens.

When Edward saw Chen Feng stunned, he explained: "The French branch that bought Lafite was Baron James, and the British branch that bought Mouton was Baron Natagne."

Speaking of this, I suddenly felt aroused: "A family with extremely large and huge economic strength must be the most fundamental reason for its decline!"

"The last century has always been the process of disbanding the Rothschild family. Important members began to expand their territory and no longer unite closely around the family headed by Meyer as before, and even kept all their assets in the family bank."

"Now it is divided into several small groups. Although they are all Rothschilds, many of them have even begun to serve their countries."

Chen Feng nodded. Now the most powerful one in the world is faith, and the second is definitely the state machine.

Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so people can still treat Rafi as foot wash in the so-called decline!

After saying hello to the butler, I officially entered the wine cellar. In front of me were new oak barrels neatly placed, which were arranged in circles along the structure of the octagonal wine cellar designed by famous Spanish architects, quiet and mysterious.

All kinds of advanced winemaking equipment are available, and the wine cellar is almost all open, but there is only one place with an iron door closed. Through the fence, you can clearly see the thick dust on the wine bottles. They are all top-notch wines, and any bottle has a history of hundreds of years.

It is said that until now, it is still made of wood-made wine. Usually, one week of fermentation and two weeks of soaking skin, the brewing method is quite simple, which is the traditional Bordeaux brewing method.

The brewed wine is put into brand new oak barrels and cultivated in the underground cellar. There are two brewing libraries in front of them, wooden barrel warehouse and stainless steel brewing library, which is a necessary fermentation step.

Wine tasting is also carried out here, with a wine tasting table with a wine barrel as the table, surrounded by white candles, which is very low-key and traditional.

The taster brought out a 1995 fine product, which is about 3,000 euros here and needs to be transported back to Chang'an Club. One cup is at least 3,999, and the whole bottle is absolutely 199,000 yuan.

Chen Feng was secretly funny. The legendary Lafite wine tasting party in the outside world was actually held directly in the dark wine cellar?

How can those friends pretend to be so pretentious!

Take the wine glass, one-quarter full, hold the bottom of the goblet, and shake it gently to let the aroma of the wine be fully released.

Put your nose a few inches from the wine glass and smell the distance.

You have to pierce your nose into the wine glass, the deeper the better. You originally thought it was not good-looking, but in fact this is the way to respect good wine the most.

It turns out that the older the high-quality products have the more subtle smell that is difficult to confirm?

Experts are called: there    is   no   right    or    wrong      answer!

Therefore, everyone's different tastes will smell different wine fragrances. As long as they are very different, the more they are, the better they are.

After finishing, I spit it directly into the small silver barrel beside me, and I don’t have to drink it. Remember this is wine tasting, not wine fighting!

I remembered the various golden identification rules I have seen, such as looking at the hanging cup, looking at the depth of the bottom of the bottle, looking at the weight of the bottle, looking at whether the bottleneck packaging can rotate, looking at whether there is a green female avatar on the imported wine bottle, looking at the area code of the barcode, looking at the wine label, looking at the wine plug...

As long as you come here in person, it will be a blind comparison!

The real Lafite has a long history and rich products. It has different packaging in different eras and different wine labels.

If you say a thousand words, the best way to buy a real Lafite is not to learn various complex identification and anti-counterfeiting techniques, but to choose a truly trustworthy purchasing channel.

You have money and leisure to come to the winery to purchase goods all day long, and can you buy fake ones?

Leaving the wine cellar and coming to the real vineyard, the labor cost in France is too high, so they are basically picked by machines. Chen Feng looked at the huge harvester not far away, which looked a bit like a Transformer, and rode directly on the vine trees, shaking the grapes hard on both sides.

Grains are shaken down one by one, simple and crude!

Then we have to remove the grape stems. There are also special machines to make this. Pour the whole bunch of grapes in and huh-la-patterned them. The stems come out from below, leaving only the fruits for making wine.

I heard that some wineries do not take the stems and pour the whole bunch of grapes into the winemaking pot for fermentation. Different methods will bring different flavors to the red wine.
Chapter completed!
