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.
This evening we have the chance to enjoy ten wines from one of the most widely appreciated vintages of the late 20th century – 1990. Not only that, but all ten examples are from leading grand cru vineyards and from two of the most exalted producers in Burgundy – the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Leroy. For these two domaines, 1990 also marks an interesting period of transition between Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy’s establishment of Domaine Leroy in 1988, and the end of her co-management of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti alongside Aubert de Villaine in 1992. Five examples from each domaine should be sufficient to give us a clear sense of the differences between the two domaines – in particular through Richebourg and Romanée-St.-Vivant which are represented this evening by both estate’s examples.
