Wine in China : Chinese
buy French vineyard
While the
purchases of French vineyards by Chinese private individuals and while the
installations of French vineyards in China became frequent, here is an event
which could well start a new wave: a Chinese domain has just acquired(bought
back) the majority of the capital of the Castle Trianon to Saint-Emilion.
The year
Enda, owner of the Castle Kinschab and Jin Sha Winery in Inner Mongolia (in
China, as its name does not indicate it) has just taken control the Castle
Trianon.
The former
owner, Dominique Hébrard, keeps however parts in the castle. He had been
consultant for the Year Enda in China. He was also a co-owner of the Castle
Bellefont-Belcier, who was sold to the Chinese company Juxin Wine and Spirit in
November, 2012.
Marc
Castagnet, a French hotelkeeper based in Hong-Kong also bought parts of the
castle to install a luxury hotel there.
Three
co-owners, Hebrard, Enda and Castagnet wish to obtain the classification of the
Castle of Trianon as Grand Cru Classé during the next revision of vineyards of
Saint-Emilion.
