Event Description

An Evening of Classic Red Burgundy: Terroir, Tradition & Taste

In the intimate setting of a private island residence, this extraordinary Burgundy dinner will have just 14 guests and 16 world-class wines from the region’s most respected Domaines.

Please join us to celebrate classic Red Burgundy. Perfect for both longtime collectors and those just beginning to explore this remarkable region. The evening will focus on the three signatures that define Burgundy: the winemaker, the terroir, and the vintage. Together, they tell the story behind every great bottle.

We’ll travel through Burgundy village by village, starting in Gevrey-Chambertin at the top of the Côte de Nuits and making our way south to Volnay in the Côte de Beaune. Along the way, you’ll taste the mineral-driven wines of Gevrey-Chambertin, the earthy and wild character of Morey-Saint-Denis, the rustic depth of Nuits-Saint-Georges, the elegant and velvety wines of Chambolle-Musigny, the expressive power of Vosne-Romanée, and the refined, silky beauty of Volnay.

Featured wines include selections from Dujac, Jean-Luc & Eric Burguet, Denis Mortet, Trapet Père & Fils, Fourrier, Hubert Lignier, Duroché, Mugnier, Henri Gouges, Chevillon, Hudelot-Noëllat, Méo-Camuzet, A.F. Gros, Marquis d’Angerville, Comtes Lafon, and Domaine de Montille.

Whether you’re a seasoned Burgundy lover or simply curious to learn more, this will be an unforgettable evening of exceptional wines paired with delicious cuisine. Our guest chef, James Beard Award Semifinalist® Douglass Williams of MIDA (Boston) is a Burgundy wine lover. He brings years of experience creating regional menus that celebrate the nuances of each wine pairing.
