Bordeaux wine is world-renowned. It has a soft and meticulous texture and a variety of charm. It is known as the "Queen of French Wine". It is recognized as the largest wine producer in the world.

Bordeaux is both a city and a name for wine. It is by far the largest fine wine production area in France and is regarded as a famous French producer. It is located in the southwest of France, the Garonne River, the Dordogne River and the Gironde Valley. The area is vast, 85 miles from east to west and more than 70 miles from north to south, with nearly 110,000 hectares of vineyards, with an average annual wine of about 500 million bottles. It is recognized as the world's largest wine production area. Bordeaux, almost all Bordeaux red wines are made from mixed varieties of different grapes, mainly Gabonlis Sauvignon and a certain proportion of Merlot and Gabonlis Franc.

When it comes to Bordeaux, people's first impression is probably Bordeaux's world-famous wine. Some people may say that besides bottles of wine marked "bordeaux", what topics can we talk about in Bordeaux? In fact, behind the bottles of wine from Bordeaux, the long history of brewing and cultivating wine culture in the Bordeaux region is condensed. The graceful and colorful Bordeaux wine is the embodiment of the land of Bordeaux, and wine is well deserved to be the world ace for Bordeaux to be civilized.

Bordeaux produces the world's top and most durable wines, and the best wines can be aged for more than 100 years. At the same time, it also produces young, early-ripe, fruity and sweet wines, which are affordable and suitable for daily drinking. Bordeaux is also one of the top white wine production areas, and its white wines are mostly aged with oak and are complex and durable. Sauterne, a production area located in the southwest of Bordeaux, is famous for producing top-quality, precious and sweet white wines.

Most of the vineyards in Bordeaux are not named piece by piece like Burgundy. Usually a piece of land belongs to individuals, with a castle or house built on the land. Such properties are called wine burgers or wineries. Over the years, the wineries will sell or purchase some land, and the size of each winery will change. For example, the area of ​​the vineyard has increased by about 50% since 1969. Therefore, the name of the winery is more like a brand than a specific vineyard. There are more than 8,000 different wineries in the Bordeaux area. Until recently, the last small number of wineries displayed their names through the wine label to show their brand.

In the 1st century AD, Bordeaux began to grow grapes. (---shuhaige point.com) The wine industry in Bordeaux also began to develop rapidly. Originating in the 12th century, the Duke of Aquitaine (including the Bordeaux region) Alijeno (alinegoldschmidt) married King Henry II of the British King. Bordeaux became the territory of the United Kingdom. The wine merchants who distribute Bordeaux could enjoy tax exemptions, so almost half of the Bordeaux wine was exported to the United Kingdom. In the 16th and 17th century, the savvy Dutch merchants also came here to engage in wine trade. Most importantly, they brought the technology of sea-to-shore land, which made the former low-lying water-stacked Medoc land surface, and now it has become the top vineyard.

The grading system of Bordeaux wine in France in 1855 is regarded as the Bible of wine in many people's minds. Many wine lovers use him as a reference for their understanding of Bordeaux wineries. I don't know if people always line up a large category of products deep down in their hearts. A grading system has emerged since 1663. But it was not officially released. This grading is to determine the quality and price of wines. The benchmark is the four top wineries in Bordeaux at that time (premiercru).margaux, latour, haut-brion (Obian), lafite-rothschild (Lafite).

Entering the 20th century, the wine industry was developing rapidly, and Bordeaux also ushered in more opportunities and challenges. More emerging markets have created great demand for Bordeaux wines. Moreover, the rapid development of New World wines has forced some Bordeaux wineries to abandon tradition and begin to try to make more wines that cater to market demand.

In 1855, France was in power in Napoleon III. The III King wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the World's Fair in Paris to promote Bordeaux wines to the world, and wanted all the wines from all over the country to participate in the exhibition. So he asked the Bordeaux Wine Chamber of Commerce to prepare an exhibition to introduce Bordeaux wines and grade Bordeaux wineries. This was tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest, because all the wineries were very self-righteous, but there was only one winner. So the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce entrusted the responsibility to a wine wholesaler's official organization syndicatof courtiers, asking them to divide all the wineries into 5 levels, and each wine producer in the Gironde region was included in one of the levels. Two weeks later, syndicatof courtiers took them out.

The classification includes 58 wineries, 4 first-level, 12 second-level, 14 third-level, 11 fourth-level and 17 fifth-level. The first-level wineries are: lafite-rothschild, latour, margaux, and haut-brion. Almost all graded gardens come from Medoc, the only exception is haut-brion, which comes from the Graf production area. Other production areas are not included, and all selected wineries are concentrated in the left bank of Bordeaux, and the chevalblanc on the right bank, which is already very famous in the 18th century, is not included. This has to be seen that this rating system has great limitations.

In this hierarchical system, wineries of the same level are also divided into sequences. For example, Mouton-rothschild is the first place in the second-level winery. However, this practice has attracted a lot of criticism. In September 1855, the syndicatof courtiers sent a letter to the Bordeaux Wine Chamber of Commerce, stating that there is no order in the same level. The Chamber of Commerce then revised the list and arranged it in alphabetical order in the winery of the same level to calm the matter.

Since 1855, the name, owner, vineyard and even wine quality has changed a lot. There are 61 wineries in the hierarchical park now listed in the hierarchical park. Of course, even if the winery is renamed and changed owners, if it was a hierarchical park in history, it would still maintain the position of the hierarchical park. The only change was in 1973, with the continuous efforts of Baron Philipperothschild, Moutonrothschild (Mutong) was upgraded from a hierarchical park to a hierarchical park. This has formed the "Five Famous Houses" that are well-known today.

After that, the Graf and St. Emelon were also classified in the middle of the last century, but they were not divided into 5 levels like the Meadows. All these wineries that entered the winery classification were called "class wineries", and the words "grandcruclass" can be seen on the winery label.

Since Lin Yu has connections with many European and American families and consortium companies, Lin Yu also has a batch of precious wines in his European manor, including the only rare red wines left in the world.

Because of this, Lin Yu acquired a winery in Bordeaux, France. Some of the insides were taken away by Lin Yu for a long time.

"Hey, you're really ungrateful!" Bush pulled his face and glared at him, "I tell you, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you so much. Moreover, if you say I'm peeping at your **, you can't come up with evidence."

"Mr. President, if you have any intentions, I will definitely not ask for money." Lin Yu said with a smile, squinted his eyes.

"I'm not short of money." Bush waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much, I just think you have a taste of mine!" Bush said, sighing, "I was similar to you when I was young. Hehe, I also felt that I was so amazing that I was simply arrogant."

Bush, aged a little thoughtful, seemed to answer the same age as the years back then, and the unspeakable vicissitudes: "Later, I suffered some losses and finally understood an important and insightful truth, that is, no matter how strong your personal strength is, don't underestimate anyone, otherwise you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life."

"You seem to have a lot of sighs and feelings?" Although Lin Yu was taught in his heart, he looked even more disdainful on his face and smiled: "It seems that you were probably a romantic figure back then, right? Otherwise, how could you have so many emotions?" He ignored Bush's glare and said with a smile, "Why would you better tell me carefully about your romantic affairs back then. Anyway, you are going to be buried in the soil, so what are you afraid of? Do you think so?"

"Get out!" Bush laughed and scolded, "It seems that people are right. Don't give him too much face, otherwise you can't control it anymore. You kid is simply a representative of such a person. I really regret having such a personal conversation with you now." He paused for a moment, and then said, "But it doesn't matter, I'm going down soon. Haha, now we have a good relationship with you, and I will move into your wine estate in the future and drink you poorly. Let's see if you kid will still be rampant at that time."

"He, welcome you to my winery, and you can drink whatever you want!" Lin Yu doesn't care. How much can you drink? You won't let me go bankrupt even if you drink it. So what else can you be afraid of?

"Haha, let's not talk about this for now, I still have something to tell you." Bush said.

Lin Yu nodded: "I knew that you wouldn't be bored and come to chat with me."

"That's right, someone in our Republican Party has proposed to work with you. What do you think?"
