The wine region of Hebei
China's 3rd largest wine region (~13,000 ha) in the north-east, with sub-zones Huailai (near Beijing) and Changli (coastal, birthplace of China's first dry red). Harsh continental climate, vines buried in winter. Cabernet Sauvignon is king in reds: structured and deep with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a spicy touch, firm tannins. Franco-Chinese Marselan (blackcurrant, cherry, violet), spicy Cabernet Gernischt and supple Merlot.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
