Dear Fine Wine Enthusiasts, We are thrilled to be able to now launch The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium 2024 programme. This intense, but varied collection of masterclasses, rare wine dinners, and paulée-style galas combine fun with the chance to gain or to deepen our understanding of Burgundy. We are flying in leading Burgundy critic and writer Allen Meadows (and 'Mrs. Burghound' too!).
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.
The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium has been running annually since 2015 (with an intermission for the pandemic), and this year is our most extensive yet, beginning in Beijing, then Shanghai, then – for the first time – Bangkok, before finishing in Hong Kong. We are so looking forward to seeing you at these events! Allen will also be marking a very special birthday with us this during, so we hope you will join us in celebrating that!
We are also honoured to have this year Jean-Luc Pépin from Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Philippe Pacelet and his wife Monica Marcucci Pacalet from Pacelet joining us.
Tickets are limited at all events, and in the case of the small-scale rare wine dinners, very limited. We recommend you book as early as possible to avoid disappointment - events@finewineexperience.com or call +852 2803 0753. The headline summary of events is listed below.

2024 marks a view on the 2004 and 1999 vintages on their 20th and 25th birthdays respectively. Tasted together, they offer the chance to understand contrasting vintages, and with sufficient cellar-maturity to really see that. That contrast – one ripe year, one cool one, one easy vintage, one challenging one – illuminates both the skill and style of the producer, as well as the response of terroir to the cycle of a year’s weather conditions. In every case here we have chosen a top class vineyard and producer, with a breadth of villages represented, and all at grand cru level. Just as importantly though, each wine offers this direct comparison ‘vintage pair’ of 2004 and 1999, deepening our understanding of these two years. All of this will be expertly led by Allen Meadows, aka the Burghound.
