波尔多名酒大比拼 揭秘绿色红酒酿造秘诀

In last show, we visited the main exhibition area of Wiener Expo. In this program, we will follow our old friend, the one-column list of La Figaro, Sivan Ausch, to see other activities in Wiener Expo, among which there is the most fascinating one, the tasting. So today we are at Wiener Expo again. Good morning. This is a special wine fair. This is La Renaissance des Appellations, Return to the Terroir. And all the winemakers are working with a biodynamic philosophy. And you can see one of the best, I think, in the world. We can find winemakers from Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, from everywhere. And all they are very good wine, very natural. Every guest to the tasting can get a wine pamphlet, like the one in Sivan's hand, and a wine glass. The pamphlet details the basic information about 104 present chateaus. Many guests will record the flavor and the features of the wine in detail for comparison and option. This Return to the Terroir tasting of biodynamics was held by Paul-Nicolas Jouly. He is considered as the Pope of French biodynamics due to his strong calling for enforcement of ecological agriculture and abandonment of chemical use. In recent years, biodynamics is very popular among both new and old wine countries. Biodynamics is proposed by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924. The philosophy emphasizes the use of nothing but natural fertilizer and an adherence to the orbit of constellation with the purpose of revitalizing the chemical pesticide and fertilizer-impelled soil. By respecting and following the nature, Paul-Nicolas Jouly and his fellows make working in vineyards and wineries very interesting. This is dynamization, it's a vortex. So, the natural substance we use in biodynamics, 300 to 200 grams per hectare, are put here and go through one hour of dynamization, so their power is increased, and this is then sprayed either on the soil or on the leaves. So, it depends for what we make dynamization. Another thing we have, you see this, we use horns. Inside the horns we put cow manure or silica, we leave it underneath the earth for six months so we get specific energies, and then we put this here and we go through a dynamization. So, it's all based on natural products and through a synergy of these natural products and an organ of an animal, here it is a horn, it can be something else, we get through the synergy much more power, and through the dynamization we gain more power. So, with tiny quantities, 3 grams to 100 grams per hectare, we have got big effect on the growth, on the quality of the energies which you have in the wine or in the plant, and on the health of the product. Biodynamics arouses a lot of disputes in the wine field. The supporters believe excellent grapes will be produced by the method, but objectors consider it ridiculous and sounds like binary astrology. As the biodynamics takes into consideration the effects of astronomical phenomenon and constellations on the plants, it makes the original and simple farming quite mysterious. In VinExpo, the 104 biodynamics chatrooms give the visitors a better understanding of biodynamics with the excellent wines they made. It's excellent, very, very good. The wines are fantastic, they are very concentrated, they have a great acidity, very fresh even with a very rich flavor. For me, it's a very nice Pinot Noir. It's a wine who have a very good palate and nice flavors, and the tasting is also very well, because you have a very long aftertasting. For me, it's a very nice wine. Delicious, it's the best. This is Australia and Bordeaux, you can't beat that. It's very refined, very elegant, but very deep, very deep, very pure in flavors. So, just delicious. VinExpo has particularly set up a wine bookstore in the exhibition. People who want to know more about wine and spirits could read and buy books here. We happened to meet French writer, Ségolène Lefebvre, who was busy on book signing. Her latest book is Women and Wine. These years, women are playing a more and more important role in winemaking. Female winemakers and female brewmasters are doing a very excellent job in this male-dominated field. Bien sûr, je suis au départ historienne, et j'ai travaillé sur les origines du vin dans l'Antiquité. Today, people say strange things about female winemakers, such as that women make different wines, which I do not believe at all. There are many old beliefs, going back to Roman times about 2,000 years ago. There are still men who believe women should not work into a cellar during fermentation. In my research, I found some very funny things. For instance, until the end of 19th century, only men wrote about women and wine. So you have a very amusing look of men upon women, even sometimes nasty, but most often funny. Everything became possible when women drank. In the 18th century, the great writer and seducer Casanova told how he used champagne to have women fall into his bed. Wine was considered as good for love and an effort dessert. In fact, wine is not good for love if you drink too much, but just a little amount might in fact help. Today, it was very interesting to talk with men about women and wine. In the field tasting held on the date of 23rd, winemakers from 13 different countries get together. They all are French, but make wine outside the country. This interesting tasting is just organized by Sivan Aouch of La Figaro. We are at Vinexpo, and an original tasting inside Vinexpo. And maybe one of the best, I think, wine fair, because we can find all the French owners, they make wine outside from France. And today, they will present their wine outside from France and also inside France. And we are with May Eliane Delongson, who was the owner of Pigeon Longville Contest de la Lande, one of the best vineyards in Boyac. May Eliane Delongson has been the owner and managing director of Chateau Pigeon Longville Contest de la Lande in Boyac for over 30 years. Far back as the 17th century, Pigeon Contest was one of the top wineries before the division of the estate. May inherited the shelves and parts of the property in the 1978 division. She has been running Pigeon Contest for many years. Why did I go to South Africa? Yes, of course. In 1988, we went to South Africa with the Bordeaux delegation, and we discovered beautiful terroirs, beautiful wines, and I went back many times as advisor and consultant.
