1. Cannes Film Festival Open Horse Champagne?
The Cannes Film Festival, one of the world's four top film festivals, is about to open, and the celebration of the festival is of course indispensable to champagne, which is known as the "water of victory". To this end, Piper-Heidsieck, the official champagne of the Festival de Cannes, has released a limited edition champagne to celebrate the 67th Edition of the Festival de Cannes.
The champagne is packaged in a distinctive format, with a bottle of white shirt and a black bow tie, like an English gentleman.
Snow White Champagne is one of the world's three major champagne brands, and today, Snow White Champagne has long become a veritable "fashion party maker", and can be seen in star-studded events such as award ceremonies, fashion shows and movie premieres. Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe once said: "I am wearing Chanel No. 5 and drinking snow champagne." ”
If the Cannes Film Festival is designed to recognize the world's best actors and films, then shouldn't the hard-working and talented winemakers in the wine industry also receive the recognition they deserve? The answer is a must!
2. The Iron Lady of Burgundy, Anne-Claude Leflaive, was named Winemaker of the Year 2014.
Domaine Leflaive, known as the "Iron Lady", was named Winemaker of the Year 2014.
In recognition of the outstanding achievements of the world's top winemakers, since 2011, DB Magazine (the Drinks Business) and the Wine Masters Association have jointly organized the Annual Winemaker Selection, which is a recognition and praise for winemakers who have achieved outstanding results in the field of winemaking.
The winners of the 2011-2013 awards were Peter Sisseck, founder of Dominio de Pingus, a top Spanish winery, Peter Gago, chief winemaker at Penfolds, Australia, and Paul, CEO and chief winemaker of Ridge Vineyards in the United States Draper）。
Château Le Flay is the epitome of Burgundy's finest white wines and has been at the top of international wine competitions for many years. The winery has been a pioneer of Burgundy white wines since the 1970s, and its rise is once again due to the third generation of the winery's head, Anne Claude. In 2006, Decanter Magazine ranked top 10 white winemakers in the world. Anne Claude is known in the wine world for advocating biodynamic winemaking.
Top winemakers certainly make wines that only local tycoons can afford. Recently, another local luxury wine has entered the perspective of major wine media.
3. Another bottle of local wine appears: the world's oldest bottle of cognac fetches a hefty price of about $60,000.
The day before yesterday, the red wine encyclopedia issued the article "Penfolds Bin 170, will become the new favorite of Chinese local tycoons" in the circle of friends of major wine lovers, it seems that everyone is very concerned about local luxury wine. Today, Wikipedia will introduce you to a local wine - Gautier Cognac in 1762.

Whether it's Penfolds Bin 170 or Gautier Cognac in 1762, it's definitely the luxury of luxury. However, when it comes to luxury goods, of course, we have to mention the LVMH Group.
4. The LV Group's big boss has spoken: his Don Pérignon Champagne will "live longer" than Jobs's iPhone.
In an interview this week, Bernard Arnault, owner of the LVMH group, said: "I often like to compare my industry with that of an emerging one. For example, I greatly admired Jobs's Apple brand. I use iPhones myself, but can you guarantee that anyone will still be using an iPhone in 20 years? I don't think so. But I'm sure in 20 years, people will drink Dom Pérignon champagne. ”
In 2013, according to Challenges Magazine, the richest man in the wine world was Bernard Arno.
