Lafite-the most famous wine in the world
Among the wine kings of all countries and factions in the world, the most famous wine king should be Lafite Village in Puyle Village, Bordeaux, France. Why?
First, history. Lafite Villa was founded by a nobleman named Lafite in 1354, and was quite famous in14th century. 1675, she was acquired by J. D. Segur, the world's number one wine producer at that time. At that time, Xi Gang was all-powerful in the wine industry. He also owns the top historical names Zhuang Latu, Akebia and Khyron family. King Louis XIV of France once said that the Xigang family may be the richest family in France. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, Burgundy wine was the main wine in France. Bombardier, the mistress of Louis XV, a famous socialite at that time, had a soft spot for Lafite. Lafite often became the cup of Versailles nobles. After the death of the third generation head of Xigang family 1755, Lafite's property rights entered a rather chaotic historical period. But the quality of Lafite wine is still not disappointing. It was not until 1868 that Baron James Rothschild won the bid for 4.4 million francs in a public auction. The family has owned Lafite until now, and has been able to maintain the quality of Lafite and the reputation of the world's top wines to this day.
Second, the rating 1855. Wine lovers all know that Bordeaux rated the famous villages in this area at 1855. At that time, they selected 6 1 best famous villages from the star-studded manors, and called them Grand Cruclassroom (which can be called rank famous villages in Chinese). In 6 1, it is divided into 5 levels. There are four first-class, namely, Fort Lafite, Fort Latour, Fort Margaux and Fort Haute Briant. Four Latin American countries and the Philippines ranked first.
Third, Lafite is the record holder of the most expensive wine in the world. Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was not only a president, but also the most famous wine critic in the18th century. Equivalent to robert parker today. 1985 At Christie's auction in London, a bottle of Lafite signed by Thomas Jefferson 1787 was auctioned by Malcolm Forbes, the owner of Forbes magazine, at a high price of105,000. Set and maintain the record of the most expensive bottle of wine in the world.
Fourth, Lafite's quality and personality are unparalleled. To have the world's top quality, of course, the first is the unique soil and microclimate of Lafite Manor. Lafite Manor covers a total area of 90 hectares, with 8,500 vines planted per hectare. Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for about 70%, Merlot accounts for about 20%, and the rest is Cabernet Franc. The average tree age is over forty years. The annual output is about 30,000 cases of wine (per case12,750ml). This output ranks first among all the top famous villages in the world. Compared with this output and the price it can maintain, the achievements of Lafite Villa are really unparalleled. Grape cultivation in Lafite Village adopts a very traditional method, which basically does not use chemicals and fertilizers, and with careful manual care, grapes can only be picked after they are fully mature. When picking, skilled workers will pick and screen grapes on the trees, and they will not pick them well. Grapes will be screened twice by more advanced technical workers after picking and before pressing to ensure that every squeezed grape meets the high quality requirements. It only takes two or three vines to brew a bottle of 750ml Lafite wine. In order to protect these expensive vines, no one is allowed to visit Lafite Villa without the special invitation of the head office. In addition, Lafite Village is also a famous village that is willing to spend more money and hire top winemakers. Lafite wine is mild and restrained, unlike Zhuanglatu and Wudang King, two famous wines produced in Puyile Village, which have strong personalities. Lafite has outstanding floral and fruity fragrance, mellow and supple, so many wine lovers call Lafite the "queen" of the grape kingdom.
Besides Lafite, the Luo family owns many famous gardens and wine brands in Bordeaux, Chile, Italy and Portugal. Among them, the more famous Bordeaux wineries are Evian Zhuo L' Evangele and Ducha Meron Ch. Duhart Milon, Lafite's second-hand brand wine Carruades de Lafite and Baron de Milon, the second-hand brand of Tussaud Meron Lafite.
