In this episode of The Wine Podcast, host Suzanne Mustacich speaks with Ao Yun Estate Director Maxence Dulou about one of the most ambitious and extraordinary wine projects in the world.
Set high in the Himalayan foothills of Yunnan, Ao Yun is a wine shaped by altitude, isolation, and human ingenuity. With vineyards ranging from 2,100 to 2,600 meters, farmed entirely by hand across more than 300 tiny plots tended by 131 local families, this is winemaking on a radically different scaleâand philosophy.
Maxence Dulou takes us inside the 2022 vintageâAo Yunâs 10th releaseâexplaining how climate patterns, high UV exposure, and dramatic dayânight temperature shifts contribute to wines of remarkable freshness, silky texture, and refined power. From âunder-extractionâ in the cellar to the use of neutral vessels like stoneware jars and glass, every decision is about expressing place with purity and precision.
