🏛️ About the Producers

Continuum: The Mondavi Legacy Lives On
Founded by California wine legend Robert Mondavi and his son Tim (the mind behind Opus One, Luce, and Seña, with over 40 years of winemaking experience), Continuum crafts tiny quantities of single-vineyard wine from high-altitude, volcanic soils on Pritchard Hill. Consistently rated among the world's best and a collector's must-have, the estate has pushed the Mondavi family reputation to new heights. The label, painted by Tim's daughter, reminds us: this is family heritage in a bottle.

RAEN: Sonoma's Rising Star
Fourth-generation Mondavi brothers Carlo and Dante left the family spotlight to pursue purity in Sonoma. RAEN (Research Agriculture Enology Naturally) uses ancient Burgundian methods including 100% whole-cluster fermentation (fewer than five California wineries use this technique), minimal intervention, and four-year-aged French oak to craft some of the state's most elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

🏛️ About the Producer

Louis Latour
Founded in 1797, Louis Latour is one of Burgundy's oldest and most representative family négociant-éleveurs, counted among the five most celebrated wine merchants in the Côte de Beaune and hailed as a guardian of Burgundian wine culture. The estate owns 50 hectares of prized vineyards, including an extraordinary 27 hectares of Grand Cru holdings, making it the largest Grand Cru producer in the region. True to its heritage, Louis Latour insists on hand-picking, uses traditional gravity-flow winemaking, runs its own cooperage, and releases wines only in vintages when the grapes are of exceptional quality.

Highlights of tonight's lineup include the Meursault 1er Cru Château de Blagny, a monopole situated on the slopes between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet; the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, the estate's flagship white from their largest Grand Cru holding; Aloxe-Corton Domaine Latour from the estate's home base and one of its most classic expressions; the Beaune Vignes Franches 1er Cru, often called "a Premier Cru with Grand Cru quality"; and the legendary Château Corton Grancey, a blend from four of the finest Corton Grand Cru plots and the ultimate expression of Corton terroir.

🏛️ About the Producer

A small, family-run estate on the hamlet of Annunziata in La Morra, nestled between the Arborina and Giachini vineyards. The Corino family began as sharecroppers in 1952 and bottled their first Barolo in the mid-1980s.

Today the winery cultivates 9 hectares, producing around 50,000 bottles a year in a modern-classicist style shaped by sustainable farming and a relentless drive to express La Morra's terroir.

A five-course Italian dinner paired with wines from Isole e Olena, one of Chianti Classico's most iconic estates.

🏛️ The Winery

Founded in 1956 in the western hills of Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena was transformed by Paolo De Marchi, who took over from his father in 1976. In 1980 he created Cepparello, a 100% Sangiovese aged in French barrique that became one of the original Super Tuscans.

The estate's 56 hectares sit at 350–450 metres on galestro and schist soils. In 2022, it was acquired by EPI (owners of Biondi-Santi and Charles Heidsieck). Beyond Cepparello, the estate produces Chianti Classico, single-varietal wines, and an acclaimed Vin Santo aged over a decade in small caratelli.

Located just one kilometre from the Medici walls of Arezzo, the estate spans 950 hectares with over 300 hectares of DOCG vineyards across Chianti and Montepulciano.

🍇 About the Producers

- Vincent Charlot, Mardeuil, Champagne

A true terroir obsessive. Vincent farms 4.4 hectares across 39 tiny plots near Épernay, each vinified separately, yielding up to 27 cuvées a year (some as rare as 300 bottles). Certified organic and biodynamic since 2013, his vines are a biodiversity haven. Spontaneous fermentation in amphorae and old barrels, near zero sulphur, minimal dosage. Pure, precise champagnes that let the soil do the talking.

- Roland Champion, Chouilly Grand Cru, Côte des Blancs

A four generation family house founded in 1929, rooted in the chalky Grand Cru slopes of Chouilly, the heartland of great Chardonnay. Now in the hands of the fourth generation, with 14 hectares and 70% Chardonnay leading the blend, the house style is all about authenticity, finesse, and elegance.

- André Beaufort, Ambonnay Grand Cru & Polisy, Côte des Bar

A pioneer of organic Champagne since the 1970s, long before it was fashionable. The 6.5 hectare domaine is farmed entirely by natural methods: compost, homeopathy, and hand cultivated soils. In the cellar, indigenous yeasts, raw sugar tirage, and hand disgorgement à la volée. Some Vinothèque cuvées age over 30 years on the lees. Champagne of remarkable depth and unmistakable artisanal soul.

🏛️ About the MICHELIN Grape Selection

In July 2026, the MICHELIN Guide launched its inaugural Grape Selection in Burgundy, introducing a 1-to-3 "Grapes" rating system that evaluates entire wine estates rather than individual bottles or vintages. Of the approximately 3,500 producers across Burgundy, only 94 were recognised in the debut release, roughly 2.7% of the region's domaines covering the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise.

Nine estates received the highest distinction of three grapes, the equivalent of three Michelin stars for restaurants. The evaluation criteria assess overall estate excellence based on agronomy and viticulture, winemaking technical mastery, identity, balance, and vintage-over-vintage consistency, focusing strictly on producer practices and terroir expression, independent of hospitality infrastructure.

An exclusive evening high above the harbour with Marc Hochar, third generation of the founding Hochar family, sharing the estate's storied heritage and distinctive low-intervention winemaking philosophy.

🏛️ About Chateau Musar

Founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, Chateau Musar is one of the most singular estates in the wine world. Inspired by Bordeaux yet entirely its own, the winery rose to international acclaim under Gaston's son Serge, who continued making wine throughout the Lebanese Civil War and famously introduced Musar at the 1979 Bristol Wine Fair. Michael Broadbent championed the wines, calling them "the greatest wine in the world that nobody's ever heard of," and in 1984 Serge became Decanter's first-ever Man of the Year.

The estate farms organically at elevations of 900 to 1,200 metres, working with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan and indigenous varieties like Obaideh and Merwah. Winemaking is minimal-intervention with indigenous yeast fermentation, and the flagship red is typically held for seven years before release. Still family-owned after more than ninety years, Chateau Musar remains Lebanon's most celebrated winery and proof that great wine is defined not by geography but by vision and conviction.

🏛️ About the Producer

Founded in 1949, Domaine Jacques Selosse was transformed in the 1980s when Anselme Selosse, trained at Burgundy's finest domaines including Coche-Dury, Leflaive and Comte Lafon, took over and brought a radical terroir-first philosophy to Champagne.

He introduced oak barrel fermentation, solera ageing, natural yeasts, biodynamic farming, and single-vineyard expression to a region built on blending and volume. Twice named "Vigneron de l'Année," Anselme is widely regarded as the godfather of Grower Champagne.

The estate farms just 8 hectares across 54 plots in Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Aÿ, Ambonnay and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, producing only ~55,000 bottles annually. The Lieux-Dits collection, introduced in 2010, represents six single-vineyard cuvées showcasing each village's distinct terroir. Today, Guillaume Selosse continues his father's legacy, refining rather than reinventing.

Journey to the edge of the winemaking world in New Zealand's breathtaking Central Otago. Founded by actor Sam Neill, Two Paddocks is entirely certified organic and globally celebrated for crafting deeply soulful, elegant Pinot Noirs that beautifully capture the dramatic, continental landscape of the deep south.

🏛️ About Pōkeno Whisky

Founded in 2017 by Matt and Céline Johns in the small town of Pōkeno, just south of Auckland, Pōkeno is New Zealand's largest single malt distillery. Nestled at the foot of the volcanic Bombay Hills in the Waikato Valley, the distillery draws pure spring water from the surrounding hills and uses barley sourced exclusively from three family-owned farms on the South Island.

Matt Johns brings over 25 years of experience from the Scotch whisky industry, including time at Tullibardine and Glenmorangie, and built a state-of-the-art facility featuring Scottish-made copper pot stills and an in-house cooperage. Production began in 2019, with the first bottles released three years later following Scotland's traditional ageing rules. The spirit is matured in a variety of casks, from first-fill bourbon barrels to Oloroso sherry, New Zealand red wine, and even indigenous Totara wood, producing single malts known for their tropical fruit character, creamy malt body, and unmistakably Kiwi sense of place.

🏛️ About the Winery

The Prisoner Wine Company has been redefining California wine since 2000. In the 1990s, while Napa chased single-varietal reds, Dave Phinney, protégé of Robert Mondavi and founder of Orin Swift, broke the mold with The Prisoner, a Zinfandel-driven blend that reshaped California winemaking. Inspired by the "mixed blacks" made by Italian immigrants who settled in California in the 1800s, it earned cult status, Wine Spectator Top 100 recognition, and a place in American wine history. The flagship Red Blend is built around Zinfandel, layered with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and the rare Charbono. The label, drawn from Goya's "Disasters of War" etchings, is as bold and unforgettable as the wine itself. Today, Director of Winemaking Chrissy Wittmann and her team work with over 100 growers across California's finest vineyards, producing a family of wines unbound by tradition: complex, expressive, and unmistakably Californian.

Five historic wines from one of Barolo's most revered estates, spanning four celebrated vineyard sites.

Two decades of vintages from one of the most revered estates in all of Piedmont. This is a rare chance to taste and compare both of Giuseppe Rinaldi's legendary pre-2010 blends side by side across multiple vintages: Brunate-Le Coste in 2000 and 2005, Cannubi San Lorenzo-Ravera in 2003 and 2007, alongside a 1987 Barolo from an era when the estate bottled under a single label.

These vineyard combinations are no longer made, and finding even one bottle is a challenge. Having the opportunity to compare how each blend evolved across different years, at the same table, in the same evening, is something that may never happen again.

🏛️ About Giuseppe Rinaldi

One of the most revered names in all of Barolo. The late Beppe Rinaldi was a fiercely traditional winemaker whose wines from Brunate, Le Coste, Cannubi San Lorenzo and Ravera defined an era in Piedmont.

Before the 2010 labelling changes, the estate produced its celebrated Brunate-Le Coste and Cannubi San Lorenzo-Ravera blends. Following the regulations, Brunate became a single-vineyard bottling, while Le Coste, Cannubi San Lorenzo and Ravera were combined to create Barolo Tre Tine. The original blends are gone forever, increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

A rare opportunity to explore and compare the distinct styles and regions within one of California's most iconic portfolios.

From Russian River Ranches Chardonnay to Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, Napa Valley Merlot and a bold proprietary blend, five wines from four flagship Duckhorn labels, each thoughtfully matched to a multi-course Cantonese menu featuring giant grouper, braised pigeon with abalone and U.S. short ribs in black truffle sauce.

🏛️ About Charles Heidsieck

Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, known as "Champagne Charlie" for his legendary charm and showmanship, the house has always been defined by generosity, depth, and an obsessive commitment to reserve wine ageing. Beneath the streets of Reims, Charles Heidsieck's cellars occupy ancient Gallo-Roman chalk crayères, providing the perfect conditions for extended ageing at constant temperature and humidity.

The house's philosophy centres on its reserve wine library, one of the largest and oldest in Champagne. Where most producers age reserve wines for two or three years, Charles Heidsieck routinely draws on stocks spanning decades. The result is a house style of rare richness, complexity, and vinous depth that sets it apart from its peers. Long recognised by critics and sommeliers as one of Champagne's most undervalued grandes maisons.

Works across multiple regions, from old vine Black Muscat in Shaanxi to high altitude vineyards in Shangri-La. His Renaissance Project bottles unfiltered skin contact orange from heritage Muscat.

Shofang · Founded in 2019 by Shofang Hu and her partner Levi Lee. Shofang inherited her family's vineyard in Qinhuangdao, Hebei, planted in 1990, at a time when neighbours were ripping up vines for higher yielding crops. Trained in Adelaide and McLaren Vale, they brought an Australian minimal intervention approach back to Chinese terroir. Their "Trick or Treat" Tempranillo sees 14 months in old oak. Strawberry lace and licorice from rescued heritage vines where the Great Wall meets the sea.
