Chinese wine lover snaps up Vosne-Romanee vines (France)

A wine lover has made the first major Chinese purchase in Burgundy. The Burgundy deal differs from the spate of purchases in Bordeaux in that it is a partnership, with local grower Pascal Chevigny selling two hectares of vines to 28-year-old businessman Shi Yi. The two, who are the same age, met while studying for a masters in wine and spirits at Dijon university, reports Decanter.
