China

Wine production in China dates back to the Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD).

The country’s first modern winery, Changyu, was established in 1892 in Shandong province, close to Yantai.

China’s vast territory and favorable climate conditions make it the world’s largest grape producer, accounting for nearly half of global grape production. It also boasts the third-largest vineyard area globally.

The Yantai-Penglai region, home to over 140 wineries, is the most prolific, responsible for 40% of China’s wine output.

Ao Yun

The vineyards are situated at altitudes ranging from 2,200 to 2,600 meters. They are nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, close to the mythical city of Shangri-La.

Approximately half of the 27 hectares currently cultivated were initially planted with engrafted rootstock in 2000, consisting solely of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

The LVMH team expanded the vineyard in 2013, adding Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah.

The Ao Yun terroir benefits from extraordinary climatic conditions, mirroring those found in Bordeaux.

The name Ao Yun translates to “flying above the clouds,” alluding to the cloud-covered peaks that surround the vineyards.

The 2018 vintage marks the inaugural release of a Chinese grand cru through the Bordeaux négociant system.
