Célèbre
High-altitude Chinese red from Yunnan, combining Bordeaux-inspired elegance, refined structure and a distinctive expression of its mountain terroir.
COUNTRY: CHINA
REGION:YUNNAN
Nestled high in the remote Himalayan foothills of Yunnan Province, Célèbre represents one of the most ambitious and exciting developments in modern Chinese fine wine. Vineyards are planted at elevations exceeding 2,000 metres above sea level, among the highest commercial vineyards in the world, where intense mountain sunshine, dramatic diurnal temperature variation and exceptionally low disease pressure create ideal conditions for producing fruit of remarkable concentration, freshness and aromatic precision. The steep vineyards, overlooking the Mekong River, are cultivated almost entirely by hand, with every aspect of viticulture focused on expressing the individuality of this extraordinary mountain terroir.
Among the estate’s portfolio, the Cabernet Sauvignon has emerged as its flagship expression, demonstrating the remarkable potential of Yunnan for world-class fine wine. Rich yet impeccably balanced, it combines vibrant blackcurrant and cassis with subtle notes of cedar, graphite and spice, supported by finely structured tannins and exceptional freshness derived from the high-altitude vineyards. Elegant rather than overtly powerful, it offers a distinctive expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects both its unique Himalayan origins and the growing confidence of China’s fine wine movement.
