Echézeaux Dinner
Celebrating the Legacy of Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg
6:30 pm Champagne Salon Reception
Legacy Records - 517 West 38th Street, New York, NY 10018

A beloved estate in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg has an illustrious history of superb winemaking that continues to this day with sisters Marie-Andrée & Marie-Christine Mugneret. Marie-Christine and her daughter Lucie Teillaud - representing the next generation at the head of the domaine -  will be present for this extraordinary dinner that will commence with a Champagne Salon reception, followed by a tasting of three young vintages direct from the domaine and discussion of the history and terroir of Mugneret’s plots of Echézeaux. Guests will then enjoy a panoply of Echézeaux from some of the best vintages of the past 50 years, all sourced from the pristine cellars of noted collector Jordi Orriols-Gil. The wines will be paired with an elegant tasting menu prepared by Chef Ryan Hardy at Manhattan hotspot Legacy Records.

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
City Winery - 155 Varick Street, New York, NY 10013

Our popular “Off Grid” tasting is proof positive that the joys of Burgundy do not have to be expensive or out of reach. Sample a selection of wines from all the major regions of Burgundy, including Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâcon, and Beaujolais, curated by a group of our nation's top sommeliers. Enjoy small plates from a selection of New York hotspots. Connect with the sommeliers on hand who will share their picks from Burgundy and provide tips on great value wines, up-and-coming winemakers, and surprising vintages.

Dinner with Louis-Michel Liger-Belair of
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair
6:30 pm Champagne Salon Reception
Eleven Madison Park - 11 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010

While Louis-Michel Liger-Belair only created this domaine relatively recently in the year 2000, the Liger-Belair family has a 200 year history in Vosne-Romanée, having settled in the village when Louis Liger-Belair, a Napoleonic general, acquired the Château de Vosne in 1815. At its heights, the Liger-Belair family owned an astonishing 60 hectares in some of Burgundy’s most legendary appellations. The Liger-Belair holdings today are impressive, and Louis-Michel has generously provided a variety of vintages of some of his best wines for this very special dinner at three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park. This will include horizontals of the superb 2011 and 2012 vintages from magnum, culminating in verticals of Reignots - one of Vosne’s finest Premier Crus - and the domaine’s patrimonial Grand Cru monopole, La Romanée. Paired with Chef Daniel Humm’s exquisite New York-influenced cuisine, this will be a spectacular celebration of one Burgundian family’s history and future.

DANIEL - 60 East 65th Street, New York, NY 10065

American Express® Card Member Exclusive**

Among the finest white wine domaines of the Côte de Beaune, one name stands above all - Leflaive. Brice de la Morandière, nephew of the late Anne-Claude Leflaive and the latest generation of the Leflaive family to manage this historic estate, has generously provided wines from deep within the domaine’s cellars for this special dinner at restaurant DANIEL. After a reception featuring Champagne Delamotte and Les Pucelles 1er Cru 2011, the dinner will focus exclusively on Domaine Leflaive’s four Grands Crus, beginning with a four-vintage vertical of Bâtard-Montrachet, followed by examples of Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. We will conclude with the impossibly rare 1999 and 1995 vintages of Montrachet. The wines will be paired with the sublime cuisine of Chef Daniel Boulud and guest Chef César Troisgros of Maison Troisgros in Roanne, France.  This is a chance to taste mature white Burgundies from some of Domaine Leflaive’s most triumphant vintages.

11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Pier Sixty - Chelsea Piers, New York, NY 10011

 American Express® Card Member Exclusive**

Chassagne-Montrachet continues to be one of the least understood of the Burgundy white wine villages.

Critic & writer Jordan Mackay will moderate the discussion of terroir through the lens of recently released book with co-author Rajat Parr - A Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste, a field guide to the great wines of Europe.
