Speaking of France, we have to mention Bordeaux wines. Bordeaux wine is a national drink of all sizes, regardless of class, and french presidents, actors, fashion and artists are fascinated by it.
Emmanuel Macron
The current President of France
President Macron once said in an interview that wine is the most important part of French table art and that a table without wine is disappointing. It makes food delicious, makes people talk, let people discover new aromas, flavors and feelings, and wine can complement the dishes. It is the combination of wine and French cuisine that makes up the French table art.
Among the gifts that President Macron gave to Chinese leaders during his visit to China was a bottle of France's finest wine. President Macron said wine is not only a French diplomat, but also part of French culture.
Sophie Marceau
French film actress, representative works "First Kiss", "Fang Fang"
Hailed as "eternal love" by French men, she once described drinking wine as one of the secrets of her youth: "As a French woman, I never refuse a glass of delicious red wine, of course, it is not just because the antioxidant effect of red wine can make actresses less wrinkled." 」 ”
Victor Hugo
French novelist, poet and artist
Hugo's love of wine remained in his equally loving words: "God created only water, and man created wine"; "The soul of the Gauls is more or less refracted with a hint of stubbornness, and from a good direction, it is also a kind of power, just as alcohol is to wine"; "Unless we have drunk wine together, we dare not say that we know each other more".
Coco Chanel
French fashion designer, founder of the Chanel brand
Coco Chanel, like most French women, like champagne, likes champagne. "There are only two situations in my life where champagne is present: when I am in love or when I am not in love." This romantic description of Champagne by Ms. Chanel was voted one of the "Top Ten Wine Quotes" by the French.
The reason why the French people like to drink wine so much is inseparable from the historical culture and symbolism carried by French wine. As a famous French proverb put it: "Opening a bottle of wine is like opening a book." "As a Frenchman, it would be incredible not to be proud of the culture of your country when you taste wine.
The French wine culture system is very perfect, whether it is from the cultivation of grapes, wine making and storage, wine tasting, drinking to wine utensils and meals, there is a set of systematic learning. This broad and mysterious wine culture affects people's social life, and many people consciously or unconsciously form an indissoluble relationship with wine. Every year when a new wine is listed, they have to announce it to the whole country, people rush to taste it, and there is a strong aroma of wine in the city and countryside.
Good wine comes from good appellations
The so-called good wine comes from the good production area. France from south to north, from east to west, it can be said that wineries are all over the country. Among them, the Bordeaux appellation is the most famous.
Bordeaux is home to more than 130,000 winegrowers, more than 9,000 wineries and wine chateaux. Many of the top wines are produced in this region. Among the many wine varieties, the full-bodied red wine is unique: the ruby color, the wine is mellow, the fruit is rich and the aftertaste is long, and it is the signature wine of Bordeaux.
Gart Castle is from Bordeaux, France, where the Mayle family has been passing down the winemaking process for four generations, the art of 90% Meroka and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon blending, and the high-mineral soil of the top wineries, which give the wine a rich layer of aromas, with a delicate and smooth taste, full and full of richness. Take a sip, as if you are in a romantic France, the aftertaste is long.
