（巴黎25日讯）澳门一名商人斥资800万欧元，于法国红酒区勃艮地购买着名酒庄「吉夫瑞·香百丹」（Chateaude　Gevrey-Chambertin，下称香百丹），引起法国右翼势力不满。该名澳门商人，据报为赌王何鸿燊赌业旗舰澳门博彩的营运总监吴志诚（ Louis Ng） 。根据Wine Spectator网路版报导，现年60岁的吴志诚（ Louis Ng）为葡萄牙公民，在香港长大及生活。

过去法国一直有酒庄被中国人收购，但多位于红酒区波尔多（Bordeaux），规模比波尔多酒庄小的勃艮地酒庄，过去多是一代传一代，较少流入外人手上。
这次收购于当地引发争议，法国右翼组织「民族阵线」批评政府应协助酿酒业保留香百丹酒庄，以免落入外人手上。
香百丹是勃艮地一间小酒庄，包括一座12世纪建造的大屋和两公顷的葡萄园，是勃艮地顶级酒庄。酒庄原主人于今年初以800万欧元售予澳门一名经营赌业者，消息传出后随即惹来当地酒业界抨击。



法国人不满落外人手

香白丹酿酒协会主席吉永向法新社表示，当地酒业界曾计划合资收购香百丹，并改建其大屋为游客中心，但最后因出价不及澳门买家落败。
勃艮地无法接受历史悠久的酒庄卖给外国人。吉永了解当地民众的心情。他说：「如果法国人买下一段万里长城，他们会作何感想？」
不过，法国另一红酒名产区波尔多早有中国等外国投资，安慰勃艮地毋须大惊小怪。
吴志诚透过在法国的代理人表示，他将会投资可观的资金，聘请一名法国建筑师来整修这一座酒庄，以及提高酒庄产酒的品级。酒庄仍会由法国当地的酿酒师来管理。
据香百丹市长Jean-Claude Robert表示，吴一直爱好勃艮地红酒，过去亦曾投资区内酒厂Domaine Rousseau，「我和其他人一样，都希望有法国买家，但（卖给中国人后）酒庄仍然会由本地人经营」。

Louis Ng, an executive in Stanley Ho’s Macao gaming empire, has purchased Château de Gevrey-Chambertin from the Miteran family in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits for a reported $10 million, outbidding a group of local vintners. The acquisition includes a 12th century château and 5 acres of vines. But the sale has provoked a backlash against foreign investment by some Burgundy residents.

The estate went on the market following the death of Elisabeth Masson Miteran on Nov. 11, 2011, put up for sale by her heirs. It was appraised at $4.4 million. The vineyards, including three plots of premier cru and one plot of grand cru, are all in AOC Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, which were appraised at $1.9 million. The appellation of Gevrey-Chambertin covers 1,360 acres. The vines purchased by Ng produce approximately 1,000 cases per year, and remain under lease to three local growers.

Ng, 60, whose Chinese name is Ng Chi Sing, is the COO and Executive Director of Sociedade de Jogos in Macao, which is owned by SJM Holdings and controlled by gambling billionaire Stanley Ho. Ng was born in Hong Kong, but holds Portuguese citizenship. (Macao is a former Portuguese colony). He oversees 17 casinos and three slot-machine lounges in Macao. He could not be reached for comment.

Jean-Michel Guillon, owner of Domaine Guillon et Fils and president of the Gevrey-Chambertin wine syndicate, explained his reaction to Wine Spectator. “I have nothing against this guy personally. But you love your country, I love mine. We love our cultural heritage. We are asking UNESCO to classify our climats as a World Heritage site—and yet, those terroirs might not remain in our hands.”

Guillon was also a rival bidder. He led a group of local investors who offered $5 million, then upped it to $6.2 million. They had plans to move the tourist office to the much-visited castle and open it to events. But Ng outbid them.

“We’re worried. Where are we headed with this?” said Guillon. “We’re trying to create a dam [against further foreign investment], but it’s complicated.”

French growers have taken militant stances against globalization before, and the Gevrey-Chambertin deal now has France’s Front National (FN), the ultra-conservative nationalist party, chiming in. “This acquisition is emblematic of the dangers that threaten French heritage,” said Florian Philipot, vice president of the FN, in a statement where he denounced the government for not helping the vignerons in their failed acquisition. Philipot is pushing for legislation to impede foreign investment.

Foreigners, particularly Americans, have purchased Burgundy vineyards before, though they often partner with local winery owners. 2012 has brought a ripple of investment: In February, a 28-year-old China-native, Shi Yi, acquired 5 acres in Nuits-St.-Georges, including 2.4 acres of Vosne-Romanée Champs Perdrix near La Tâche. In May, Canadian businessman Moray Tawse, of Tawse Winery on the Niagara Peninsula, acquired Domaine Maume in Gevrey-Chambertin.

Guillon told Wine Spectator that he also feared the whims of the super-rich. “The vignerons that I represent are worried about foreign investors who come in here and buy an estate like you buy a pair of shoes. Apparently, 8 million euros for [Ng] is like 50 euros for me.”
