Chapter 361 The story of the god of wine

The taster smiled slightly, "I'm already very surprised. After all, this is Romani Conte made in the New Yuan era! If it is aged for a few years, it will definitely become better. ←Ober and Devilland are worthy of being one of the three great gods of Baccarat. In fact, Romani Conte is not as good as Crohaba, which is also the meaning of the question. It is easy to compare the output. Henrijaye is more harsh. He brews these top wines every year, but the average output of Romani Conte is still 5,000 bottles per year, several times more than Henrijaye's wine."

Gate frowned as they commented, "People, please follow me to see Lord Devilland."

The three of them nodded at the same time, and soon, they returned to the ancient tree.

Ober and Devilland did not ask them about their feelings about their wine tasting at the first time, and their old voices were more vicissitudes than before.

"Actually, I should have died long ago. I should have left this world two hundred years ago. But I am reluctant to leave, and I am reluctant to leave just like that."

"I have always been very conflicted. When I was young, what I pursued was to be the top winemaker. All the teachers who taught me told me that I am very talented. I have unique advantages in both taste, in terms of my feelings about grapes and wine."

"At that time, I worked very hard, almost every day, and continued to improve every day. Soon, I began to emerge and become an excellent winemaker. However, as time went by, I gradually discovered that there was a strange thing in the world of red wine. The better the wine, the poorer the winery was. Because the best wine must be brewed in the most demanding way. Even the grapes need a full moon to pick. If there is no full moon night, it would be better to let the grapes rot in the soil than to make wine. Only in this way can the best wine be produced. However, those wineries that make ordinary wines and cheap wines are particularly rich. Their wines are of poor quality, but the sales volume is huge. The largest wine merchant in Burgundy can sell eight million bottles of wine a year."

"At that time, my worldview was impacted, why didn't the best thing make the most money? So I started to study, and it took me thirty years to find the balance point. Then there was Drc. However, before I knew it, my perception of wine and grapes were no longer so keen. The money I lived made my heart become impetuous."

"In my early years, I never regarded Henrijaye as an opponent, because in my eyes, he was just an ordinary simple farmer, and I was indeed the heir of the Devilland family, and I owned 50% of the shares of DRC. However, when I really made DRC the top wine merchant in Burgundy, I found that I could no longer catch up with him."

"It was only then that I gradually realized that I was really not as good as him. It turned out that my favorite thing was still winemaking. So I began to try to catch up. Larobeth and I worked hard to study biodynamic winemaking methods and tried our best to improve the quality of the drc. During that time, we made many innovations together. We gave wine throughout our lives, and even delayed our lifelong events, but that period was the happiest time. Every day with Beth, we worked together, and our relationship became better and better. Finally, one day, I felt that our wine was good enough, so we invited Henry Jaye, who looked like an old farmer."

"Henrijaye came to our winery, and I took him to visit him for a while. I wanted to show him how powerful our DRC is and how great our biodynamics are."

"But after seeing it, he said that to him, the vine is like his own life and his partner. When the vine is sick, he needs to use a little fertilizer in an appropriate amount. When the vine needs something, he needs to give it something, and should not deliberately pursue a concept."

"At that time, I was very dissatisfied, so I told him, can your wine be comparable to my Romaniconti? At that time, Crohaba, who later became famous, understood that because the vines were not old enough and had not really produced. After tasting Romaniconti, he told me that he was willing to help me brew Romaniconti for a year. Let me give him some of the grapes from Conti Garden."

"I was very proud at that time. I agreed to his request and, together with Beth, also made the Romaniconti of that year. Then, we worked hard and devoted ourselves to the wine making. It was also the only time that Henrijaye made wine in DRC. He would come and see the vines I assigned to him every day, and do something there every day."

"Soon, more than two years passed. The wine we made was ready to be bottled. Beth and I joined forces to make twenty barrels of Romaniconti, which was 6,000 bottles. But what he made was only one small barrel, which could only be filled with one hundred and fifty bottles. But according to the number of grape fields I gave him, it should be possible to produce at least five hundred bottles. At the beginning, I thought he was greedy for grapes, but he told me that he did not. The reason why he had so few was that there were only so few that met his standards."

"So, the two bottles of Romani Conte were also Romani Conte, but the winemaker on it put on the table with his and Beth's names written on it. At that time, Beth and I didn't believe that Conte, who we are more familiar with, would be inferior to him."

At this point, Ober, Devilland paused, "But when two cups of Romaniconti, which looked the same color, were really placed before us, we soon suffered the greatest failure of our life. Henrijaye only smelled the Conte we made, and he stood up and said to me, thank you very much for giving him the chance to handle the Vines in Conte, and all the Romaniconti he made were given to me and Beth. Then he left."

"I thought he was a sign of giving up. But when I smelled the Conte he made and felt the extremely powerful tannins that surpassed the fragrance of imagination, I knew I was wrong. Beth and I lost, and they lost so badly. Henrigaye spent more than two years using his method to tell us what the most powerful wine should taste."

"That one hit me so hard that I was even in a slump for a while. What made me even more painful was that Beth left me. She went to Henrijaye's vineyard and began to make wine with him. Even though I knew that she went to him because of his winemaking skills, she was still full of jealousy and resentment in my heart. I worked hard to surpass Henrijaye in winemaking, and I also selected grapes in the most demanding way. However, his wine began to appear, Henrijaye's Crohabada, Ethus, and Li Qibao. It was born. Although he could not affect my drc due to the small yield, I was no longer a god of wine from that moment on. There was only one person who could climb to the altar."

"Later, he died. Haha, he died. I went to find Beth, hoping that she could return to me. But Beth didn't want to. Beth said that she fell in love with Henrijaye, and even if he was dead, she would love him forever. Then Beth gave up her shares in Drc, returned to her own family estate, and ran the Leroy brand."

"There are always rumors in the outside world that I drove her out of the drc, but who knows my pain? The only woman I have loved in my life is her. However, she fell in love with someone I will never defeat."

"I live strongly, and there is only one belief in supporting me to survive, that is to surpass Henrijaye! Although he was dead, wine was still passed down, so I bought a lot of his wine at a high price. One day I was not as good as him, I made wine for a day, and one year I made wine for a year. The environment of the mother star gradually became worse and my hope became more and more bleak, but I was unwilling to give up. As long as I had not defeated him, I could not die. So I spent a lot of time starting to transform my body and let my body merge with the oldest grape vine. In order to live longer, I gradually became a vine tree. I believe that in this way, I could understand the grapes more and make better wines. My Romaniconte would one day surpass Henrijaye's Crohaba's understanding! One day!"

Oberdevillan's voice became louder and louder, and his whole emotions seemed to be a little out of control.

Listening to the resentment of this generation of Baccarat towards another late Baccarat, Lan Jue frowned slightly and sighed.

"Why do you sigh?" Ober, Devillan, suddenly asked coldly.

Lan Jue said: "Because I think that if you maintain such an mood and competitive spirit, you may never be able to defeat Senior Henri Jiaye."

Ober, Devilland was furious, and the vines on the vine waving vigorously, "Why? What's the right to say that?"

Lan Jue said: "Of course I am not qualified to evaluate the wines of you and Master Henrigaye. However, I think that a good winemaker should really like wine instead of using it as a tool for competition. You are right, you have extremely high talent. In this regard, I believe Master Henrigaye may not be better than you, but your mentality determines the outcome. Your strong competitive spirit makes you unable to really understand grapes and wine, at least compared with Senior Henrigaye, this is the case."
