The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium is back in 2025! We have an exciting programme of masterclasses, dinners, and our paulée-style gala dinner ready for you. It’s all about deepening our pleasure in and our appreciation for Burgundy, with plenty of fun along the way.
You’ll find all the details below, and tickets are on sale now!
We are flying in leading Burgundy critic and writer Allen Meadows (and 'Mrs. Burghound' too!), as well as a range of great Burgundy producers, in person. There is much to learn about the 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.
And, at the producer-led events, meet the producers, and learn from their first hand experience and their wines. This year we are delighted to welcome Antoine Amiot from Domaine Amiot-Servelle, Bertrand Dugat from Domaine Claude Dugat, Christian Clerget from Domaine Christian Clerget & Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne.
The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium has been running annually since 2015 (with an intermission for the pandemic), and this year we begin with a solid, wide-ranging programme in Hong Kong. We are delighted to finish by returning to Bangkok, where we had such a great time last year. In between – something new for us – Tokyo! We look forward to seeing you at any or all three cities this year.
Tickets are of course limited at all events, and at certain dinners, very limited. We recommend you book as early as possible to avoid disappointment - events@finewineexperience.com or call +852 2803 0753.
with special guest: Antoine Amiot
We are delighted to welcome Antoine Amiot back to Hong Kong to share with us the chance to really get to know the wines of his famous village. Antoine is a warm, passionate and articulate speaker on Burgundy, a subject he knows so well first hand through his work at his family domaine. While the domaine owns and farms vineyards in nearby Morey-St-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, their heart is in Chambolle-Musigny, where the domaine is located. Here they are real specialists of the many terroirs Chambolle-Musigny has to offer, and that is the theme for this winemaker dinner.
Discussing Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Charmes’ with Antoine last year, he said, “I think when we talk about Chambolle we always say that Chambolle is making some very feminine wine, very elegant, very delicate, and I think Les Charmes is the best example if you are looking for that. If you want the typical Chambolle, then Les Charmes will give you this very nice roundness, this finesse that we always have.” “With just a touch of minerality”, added his sister Prune Amiot, and “the tannins are really soft.”
With the chance to enjoy Chambolle-Musigny wines from 8 different Chambolle terroirs, 7 of them 1er Crus, we will discover this evening the rich tapestry of Chambolle, gaining a better sense of its expression as a whole, as well as its individual personalities.
