We are thrilled to be able to now launch our Burghound Symposium 2019 programme. 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 are flying leading Burgundy critic and writer Allen Meadows (and “Mrs. Burghound" too!) to Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong to lead events in this programme.
Allen Meadow’s 2019 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 dining venues in three cities. 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 Edouard Parinet of Château du Moulin-à-Vent and Jean-Luc Pépin of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé who will join us to host their domaine-specific events.
Many of these events are very small in scale, so we recommend you book as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Act now and contact us via events@finewineexperience.com or +852 2803 0753 for booking.
‘La Tâche is perhaps the single most revered Burgundy, rivaling even the transcendent Romanée-Conti. La Tâche, a monopole of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, is fabuslously expensive, but even the mere mention of its name causes wine lovers’ pulses to quicken. And some wine lovers will tell you that the greatest single bottle of wine they have ever tried was a vintage of La Tâche….
….When La Tâche is “on”, the sheer aromatic breadth dazzles the senses with its seductive complexity, velvety richness and extraordinary length. There is nothing in the world quite like it.’ – Allen Meadows, The Pearl of the Côte.
To appreciate the full revealed bloom of La Tâche, patience is required. That’s why tonight’s selection of ten vintages spans four decades, with the youngest vintage selected being already 18 years old.
