RARE WINE DINNER: 2003 Burgundy Grand Crus, Twenty-Years On
Hosted by Allen Meadows
2003 offered something of a prequel to the now frequent hot vintages that have become more the norm than the exception. At the time though, the 2003 growing season was unprecedented. Vignerons looked back to years like 1947 to find parallels. As always, there were successes, and 2003 has continued to pleasantly surprise wine enthusiasts. At 20 years of age, this small event will support why Allen has often said that it’s impossible to distill an entire vintage into a single number. There are simply way too many variables that come into play, not the least of which are the extremely localized weather effects, individual terroirs and the quality of the growers themselves. This supports Allen’s belief that generic vintage charts can do more to mislead consumers than inform them and that buying on the basis of vintage is dangerous because one producer may have done spectacularly well, either by luck or skill, even in what is considered a challenging vintage. To quote Allen, “In short, like life, Burgundy vintages are simply far too complicated to be captured by a numerical rating on a chart.” This is your chance to form your own opinions and see how the wines from the hands of gifted winemakers, have fared. This special dinner will also give participants the chance to learn the details of the vintage, it’s interplay with the various climats and what could be achieved in the hands of gifted vignerons – while getting a better grasp on how to understand the future of Burgundy.

MASTERCLASS: Premier Cru vineyards with Grand Cru Potential
With special guests: Burghound Allen Meadows and Mrs. Burghound Erica Meadows
This afternoon class and tasting will be led by Burgundy expert Allen Meadows. Are there premier crus that could be upgraded to grand cru – or that provide a grand cru drinking experience? The hierarchy of Burgundy vineyards may seem static, and while it doesn’t change much, there have been upgrades from 1er to Grand Cru over the years. Clos des Lambrays in 1981 and La Grande Rue in 1992 are two examples. Some of the wines in this master class may already be a contender for an upgrade – but official upgrade or not, taste through these wines and form your own opinions as you enjoy a selection of wines that Allen often says, “box above their weight.” In addition to the tasting and wealth of information that will be provided, you’ll have a chance to ask Burghound the questions you want answered.
Premier Cru Wines to be served:
2017 Domaine Armand Heitz – Meursault Les Perrières
2013 Domaine François Raveneau – Chablis Montée de Tonnerre
2019 Domaine Launay-Horiot – Pommard Rugiens Bas
2016 Domaine Marquis d’Angerville – Volnay Clos des Ducs
2015 Domaine Fourrier – Gevrey Chambertin Clos St. Jacques (magnum)
2014 Domaine Robert Groffier – Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses
2013 Domaine de Montille – Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts “Christiane”
2011 Domaine Robert Chevillon – Nuits-St.-Georges Les St.-Georges

This finale event for The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium always culminates in the memorable (and delicious) Gala Dinner. This is the time to “let loose” and celebrate with new and old friends, reveling in a traditional Burgundy “paulée-style” dinner, with all participants sharing bottles, magnums, and jeroboams from their own cellars. In addition to Allen and Erica Meadows, all Burgundy vignerons and vigneronnes from the week-long program will be part of this special night. It’s a night you don’t want to miss.
