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.

RARE WINE DINNER: RICHEBOURG & ROMANÉE-ST-VIVANT IN DEPTH
Not a Hotel Club House,, Cross Dock, 4 Chome-7-4 Harumi, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0053
Join us for this in depth look at two of the leading Vosne-Romanée Grand Crus – Richebourg and
Romanée-St-Vivant. A single wine from either vineyard would make the pinnacle of any dinner, but the
chance to compare these two icons side by side will give us the chance to really understand each one
deeply, guided in person by leading Burgundy expert Allen Meadows. Allen has been publishing his
Burgundy report quarterly at Burghound.com for 25 years, and wrote his first book especially about the
vineyards and wines of Vosne-Romanée – The Pearl of the Côte – in 2010.
Asked years ago to describe and contrast the character of Richebourg and RSV, DRC’s Aubert de Villaine
responded that Romanée-St-Vivant was about delicacy, femininity, seduction and perfume, while Riche-
bourg was about great power, explosiveness (in youth) and intensity. As we compare the two, is that
what we will discover, or is the picture more complicated? To answer this question with Allen’s guidance
we have selected a range of the leading producers of these two fabled grand cru vineyards – including
DRC and Domaine Leroy. Our vintage selection this evening – spanning 2008-1990, ensures that all wines
are drinking with enough maturity to reveal the full complexity for which these grand crus are capable.
