(TheDrinksBusiness) - Louis Vuitton’s founding family has launched XLV, a range of wines specifically tailored to the Chinese palate. Encompassing wines from the southern Rhône, Bordeaux and Champagne, XLV is named after fifth generation family member Xavier-Louis Vuitton, who owns a wine estate near Apt in the Vaucluse department of France. Xavier-Louis’ son Quentin-Louis, who has taken on the role of cellar master, was at last week’s HKTDC International Wine & Spirits Fair to introduce the range. Describing wine as “a passion I inherited from my father”, he explained: “I made many trips to Asia to understand the Asian palate.”
