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 guests: Christian Clerget & Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne
Join us at Le Clos for an evening with Christian Clerget and Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne. Christian manages his domaine in Vougeot with his wife Isabelle and daughter Justine. The vineyards comprise 6 hectares located in Morey-St.-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, and Vougeot. They believe that great wine is made from the best grapes, so they focus their attention on cultivating top-quality fruit in the vineyard. There is no use of herbicides, insecticides, or chemical treatments or fertilizers; their goal is to practice responsible viticulture. The grapes are meticulously scrutinized in the vineyard when picked and on the sorting table with only the best fruit kept. The goal with their winemaking is to let the vineyard speak through in the wine.
Antoine created his own label just four vintages ago at his winery in Beaune, bringing to the table an extremely impressive wine CV: Initially trained as an engineer at an elite school, he completed his M.Sc in Agronomy, and a masters in Viticulture and the French National Diploma in Oenology. He then joined pioneer biodynamic estate Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace, before spending 8 years at Domaine Anne-Claude Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet. His academic skills, and deep experience in biodynamics led to him being recognised as a leader in this field with a successful global career in consulting and publishing on the subject. As you might imagine, the approach here is rigorous, methodical, thoughtful and progressive, with a mix of vessels employed – 228, 350, and 1200 litre oak, as well as amphorae, all with clear ideas in mind. The wines are pure and vibrant with an effortless style.
With two very interesting and accomplished Burgundy vignerons joining us this evening, we look forward to enjoying and learning much.
