Ao Yun means “flying above the clouds” in Chinese: a name that invites you on a jour- ney to discover this premium Chinese wine. For this singular project, the journey was taken by Christophe Navarre, President of Moët Hennessy. He traveled to the north of the province of Yunnan, not far from the mythical city of Shangri La, to locate the vineyard where this one-of-a-kind wine is produced, between the banks of the Mekong and the summits of the Himalayas. With its rich culture and breathtaking landscapes, the Yunnan region provides the best natural environment to create this new wine. It was a daring move, to develop and grow at an altitude of 2,600 meters a French grape variety that had never experienced the thrill of such high altitudes.
