Ao Yun - Chine 2013

AN EPIC JOURNEY

Ao Yun, the first wine estate of the Himalayas, is born from a dream that began in 2008: to create a unique, world-class fine wine in China. Commissioned by Moët Hennessy, Dr.Tony Jordan embarked on a journey into the unknown and after 4 years of scouring the vast lands of China he eventually made it to North Yunnan, where he observed an ideal microclimate for a fine cabernet. The Ao Yun team, led by Estate & Technical Director Maxence Dulou, perpetuates this vision.

Ao Yun lies near the legendary and remote village of Shangri-La, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Ao Yun’s 27ha-vineyard is divided into 727 sub-blocks which are located on the banks of the Mekong River, in the UNESCO-protected area of the Three Parallel Rivers and below the sacred Meili snow mountain (6800m). Each of the 4 villages is spread over complementary altitudes from 2100m to 2600m and has different soils, sun exposure and microclimates.

The first vintage of Ao Yun, now nine years old, showcasing melted tannins that cradle raspberry, red cherry and clove spices, with smoked tea and oyster shell on the finish. Overall long and drawn out with a finely balanced structure. The oak that was dominant in the early years when I tasted it in China is softer and more integrated, but there is a touch of dryness on the finish. The achievement here is immense, with winemaker Maxence Dulou successfully creating this from a location where everything had to be done by observation and trial-and-error, taking into account 500m of altitude variation between the four villages, and the hugely complex variations in exposure and terroir. Harvest September 20 (Xidang Village at 2,100m) through to November 11 (Adong Village, 2,600m). Aging took place in 40% new oak, 40% earth jar and 20% in stainless steel vats (all located in a temporary cellar).
