HIGH LIFE 91 “酿酒师梦寐以求的，是探索新的风土环境，并在令人屏息的美景中融入辉 煌灿烂的文化，从而酿制出传世美酒。” 马克桑斯• 杜鲁 位处北纬二十八度的地区，一般无法生产出高品质的葡萄酒。然而，敖云酒 庄所处之地海拔极高，完全足以抵消低纬度地区的典型高温潮湿气候。位于云南 和西藏交界、比邻印度及缅甸的三江并流保护区，乃联合国教科文组织世界文化 遗产，其气候环境据说类似波尔多，更增添了山地特征。虽然日照时间稍短，高 紫外线却足以抵消，而干燥的气候环境，则让葡萄成熟期延长至140天，比波尔 多的120天高出许多。酿酒师酒庄主管马克桑斯• 杜鲁此前曾在波尔多、勃艮 第、智利及南非等地工作，可谓十年磨一剑。在他的领导下，敖云酒庄正在世界 屋脊上以有机种植法创造中国葡萄酒传奇。 “Every winemaker dreams of discovering a new terroir and being part of creating a great wine while respecting an incredibly rich culture in the midst of breathtaking landscapes.” Maxence Dulou The 28th parallel north may seem unsuitable for quality viticulture, but such low latitude is compensated by high altitude. Bordering Tibet and equidistant from India and Myanmar, the Three Parallel Rivers area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is said to be uncannily similar to the Bordelais climate, with an extra mountainous streak. Fewer hours of sunshine are mitigated by higher UV, whereas the dry season enables an exceptionally long ripening period of 140 days, as opposed to 120 days in Bordeaux. Having honed his skills in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Chile and South Africa, Winemaker and Estate Manager Maxence Dulou leads his team on the “roof of the world” practicing organic viticulture.
