Origo Club Hosts Third Ultra-Exclusive ‘Paulée’-Styled Dinner on March 12

CRU D’ETAT: ORIGO CLUB BRINGS BURGUNDY INTO FOCUS AT ULTRA-EXCLUSIVE ‘PAULÉE’-STYLED DINNER ON MARCH 12

‘BYOB’ Event Allows Aficionados Opportunity to Share Rare, Cellared Wines and Multi-Course Menu of French Fare with Fellow Collectors, Connoisseurs

Oenophiles can dig deep into their personal cellars and savour the best of Bourgogne with fellow wine enthusiasts when Origo Club hosts a third instalment of its ultra-exclusive ‘Paulée’-inspired Grand Cru Burgundy Dinner Series on Thursday, March 12.

Beginning at 6:30 p.m., each guest will bring two bottles of Grand Cru Burgundy or Champagne or one magnum of either to be shared among their fellow connoisseurs and share in the spirit of generosity, conviviality and joie de vivre while enjoying a seven-course dinner prepared by Chef David Pan.

The event finds its inspiration in the traditional French ‘La Paulée de Meursault’ celebration that dates back to the 1920s and would see vignerons, cellar and vineyard workers and the local community gather together to mark the end of the grape harvest with a banquet where winemakers would showcase — and share — their best bottles to compete for Burgundian bragging rights.
