The Himalayan Grand Cru

LVMH at 2,600 Meters with Buddhist Blessing Ceremonies

LVMH spent four years searching for China's Bordeaux. They found it at 2,600 meters in the Himalayas, where French missionaries had planted Cabernet Franc in the 1800s. The vines were still there. The Tibetan villagers still tended them. Now the world's most exclusive Chinese wine comes from people who had never heard of Chateau Margaux.

Plan the trip

Insider tip. The wine costs $300+. The altitude sickness is free. Bring altitude pills and drink water. A lot of water. Ask to see the original 1800s vines planted by French missionaries - they are still producing.
