Ao Yun (敖云) (meaning flying above the clouds) is a winery in Deqin County, Yunnan. It is majority owned by LVMH, and released its first vintage, the 2013, in 2016. The location was the product of a four-year search by Australian winemaker Tony Jordan to produce red wines comparable to that of Bordeaux in China. It is the most valuable Chinese wine for collectors. Factors associated with the above 7,000 feet (2,100 m) elevation create a plurality of terroirs and unusual conditions which results in a unique blend.
