We are thrilled to be able to now launch for sale our 2018 Allen Meadows Burghound Symposium. This intense, but varied collection of masterclasses and dinner events, combines fun with the chance to gain or to deepen your understanding of Burgundy. We will fly leading Burgundy critic and writer Allen Meadows (and “Mrs. Burghound" too!) to Shanghai and Hong Kong to lead all of the events in this programme.
Allen Meadow’s 2018 China programme is exclusive to The Fine Wine Experience.
There is much to learn about this complex yet rewarding fine wine region of Burgundy. Allen’s expertise, his complete fluency in the subject, and his ability to teach, to lead, and to moderate discussion offer much to both the novice and the experienced aficionado.
We have also spent many months meticulously sourcing just the right bottles – the right vineyards, vintages, and domaines with the right provenance – to show top level Burgundy in its diversity and depth.
Hedonism and learning combined!
The programme takes in a range of subjects with a nicely varied selection of cuisines at leading Shanghai and Hong Kong dining venues. Yet all this is scheduled within a short enough space of time, that both locals and international guests alike can schedule any selection of events, or indeed the entire programme into their diaries.
This year we are joined by leading Burgundians — Marit Lindal and Christophe Perrot-Minot (Domaine Perrot-Minot), and Prune and Antoine Amiot-Servelle (Domaine Amiot-Servelle) who will join Allen in leading their domaine-specific events.
The headline summary of events is listed below. Download the full programme with wine list and details or read it online here.
Many of these events are very small in scale, so we recommend you book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
For Hong Kong we also offer special hotel rate Deluxe Peak View Room at Island Shangri-la Hotel for HKD 2,550+10% service charge per night. This offer is subject to availability and only valid for bookings made through The Fine Wine Experience for the participants of Burghound Symposium 2018 events, please contact us via events@finewineexperience.com or +852 2803 0753 for booking.

2018 BURGHOUND SYMPOSIUM HONG KONG - Perrot Minot Winemaker Dinner with Marit Lindal and Christophe Perrot-Minot and Allen Meadows (DAY 2)
Amuse Bouche, (22/F, The Hennessy, 256 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong)
Get direction
The wines of Christophe Perrot-Minot have been recognized as amongst the best in the Côte de Nuit, a recognition earned through old vines, low yields, and (may we say?) fanatical attention to detail for quality at every step. The result is clarity and concentration, yet somehow perhaps paradoxically tender texture, even when the wines are young.
Selected this evening are three terroirs that are particularly special for the domaine. Burg geeks know well that the Gevrey grand cru Mazoyeres-Chambertin may also be labelled as Charmes-Chambertin. The latter, being more famous, and perhaps commercially appealing is the reason that so much Mazoyeres ends up being labelled Charmes (or is blended into it). But not at Domaine Perrot-Minot. Here they are kept separate, and when you taste them they are so distinct it is a wonder why anyone would blend them.
Burg geeks also know that La Combe d’Orveau is a Chambolle-Musigny vineyard divided into three classifications: there is a portion, owned by Jacques Prieur that is a lieu dit of Musigny Grand Cru. There is a portion next to this that is 1er cru, and there is a higher portion that is village level. Perrot-Minot’s portion is in the 1er Cru section, and part of his “Vieilles Vignes Ultra” range – a label reserved for wines from his oldest (ancient) vines. It’s a magnificent wine.
This evening we have a double treat, for this event will be lead by Christophe Perrot-Minot himself as well as Allen Meadows. No stone, in other words, will be left unturned as we enjoy and discuss these 12 wines over dinner.
