With "Ao Yun', the French luxury group LVMH has set itself the goal of producing nothing less than the "best red wine' in Asia. The name means "floating above the clouds' - and the choice is no coincidence. The 314 plots of Ao Yun lie between 2,200 and 2,600 metres above sea level. 19 % Cabernet Franc, 10 % Merlot, 7 % Syrah and 4 % Petit Verdot form an incredibly dense and multi-layered cuvée. Deep purple envelops aromas of blackberry, forest fruits, mint, earth, some liquorice and tar, incense, clove and nutmeg. All this in perfect balance in a robe of the finest tannins. In short, the "Ao Yun' shows everything that a Bordelais Premier Cru has to offer. And it absolutely lives up to its claim to be one of the absolute best in the world.

Wine stories always connect people, places and land in fascinating ways. And when a French winemaker produces a world-class wine based on an Australian oenologist's discovery in southern China, you can feel giddy before the first cork is pulled.
