The Burgundy Wine Council (BIVB) is organizing, for the first time ever, a magical Burgundy wine and cheese pairing seminar in Hong Kong. 

Exclusively organized for the wine trade and media, this practical and theoretical seminar, conducted in English, will showcase some of the most magical appellations of Burgundy**. It will take the audience through the region in a straightforward way: no complicated names or intricate concept! Burgundy Wine Council’s Official Accredited Tutor will give an easy and no-nonsense access to the appellations. It is the best way to understand Burgundy: a land of tiny estates that produce some of the most amazing wines in the world.

The quality of the wines presented is outstanding: most of them are at Premier Cru level and come from celebrated appellations such as Puligny Montrachet, Aloxe Corton and Vosne Romanée. It will be a rare occasion to taste the best of the best Burgundy wines with a true Burgundy expert.

To match the delicate and complex flavours of these wonderful wines, the finest French cheeses will be selected by a French Cheese Master. Pairing red and white Burgundy with cheeses will seem so simple and straightforward afterwards!

Set in the luxury Ritz-Carlton Hotel, this seminar will be an amazing, delicious and inspiring experience. It will kick off, in style, a series of events highlighting the extraordinary quality and diversity of Burgundy and its wines. In 2012, thanks to the Burgundy Wine Council, Hong Kong wine lovers will have a true understanding of the culture and tradition of ‘Bourgogne’. 

About the Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB): 

The Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB) is a professional organization which brings together all winegrowers and wine-merchants of Burgundy. Burgundy today is a 26,000 hectare puzzle, representing only 0.5% of the world vine production, but which still adds up to 204 million bottles. No other French region so neatly sums up one word – “terroir” – all the potential for great quality wines. For what makes Burgundy wines stand out is the intimate relationship between the soil, the influence of the microclimate, the grape variety and the work of the man. More information on Burgundy Wines is available on the website
