Epic Burgundy Wine Dinner
This little known Vosne-Romanée estate has rapidly become one of the most cultishly sought after maisons d'haute couture in all of Burgundy, driven by a fanatical devotion to raw quality at every stage of the winegrowing and winemaking process. For this exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime evening, we invite you to experience a producer whose identity will remain a surprise until the first glass is poured.
Working with an uncompromising commitment to organic and biodynamic principles. Yields are kept painfully low, vineyard work borders on obsession, and every decision is guided by a singular objective: to transmit terroir with absolute clarity. In the cellar, whole-cluster fermentations are executed with a philosophy reminiscent of the famed “Leroy cloud” approach, favoring gentle, infusion style extraction where intact clusters form a floating cap, allowing for a slow, nuanced release of structure, perfume, and complexity. The result is not power for its own sake, but precision, wines that unfold in layers of haunting aromatics, silken texture, and crystalline minerality.
The acclaim has been nothing short of extraordinary. In four of the past five vintages, veteran critic Jasper Morris has awarded his highest scores of the vintage, across all producers to this estate, spanning Vosne-Romanée villages & 1er Crus, Échezeaux, & Clos de Vougeot. In the remarkable 2023 vintage alone, six wines received his coveted “Five Star Wine” designation the most he has ever awarded to a single producer in one vintage over the course of his career.
Adding to the mystique, these wines are hyper allocated, produced in minute quantities and fiercely sought after by top collectors and Michelin-starred cellars alike. Securing even a single bottle is a rarity; assembling a lineup of this breadth and pedigree is virtually unheard of.
The lineup will feature a minimum of six wines drawn from these hallowed vineyards Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, and Échezeaux, each bottle a study in nuance, power, and precision. These rare expressions will be paired with a progression of chef-driven masterpieces, each course meticulously designed to elevate and amplify the character of the wines, creating a seamless dialogue between cuisine and terroir. And yet, beyond the accolades and rarity, it is the singular beauty of these wines that leaves the most lasting impression. Ethereal yet profound, they captivate from the first pour converting tasters into lifelong devotees with their purity, energy, and unmistakable sense of place.
This is not simply a dinner, it is a historic unveiling, an insider’s glimpse into one of Burgundy’s most elusive and revered estates, brought to life through an experience designed to reach truly epic proportions.
And as usual, the dinner is at cost in appreciation of our loyal guests. Anywhere else this dinner would be well over $2,000/pp if even offered.
Doamine Henri Boillot
We are hosting a very limited, collector-level dinner featuring wines from Henri Boillot.
Quite simply, we brought Henri Boillot wines to Arizona because they are among the very best in the market today, and arguably the strongest quality-to-price ratio at the highest level of white Burgundy. For decades, critics have been emphatic:
“Blown away by the precision and intensity.”
“A thrilling, complete wine.”
"Reference-point Puligny and Meursault.”
“Explosively mineral, layered, and extraordinarily persistent.”
“Among the finest examples of the appellation.”
If you are not yet comfortable with Burgundy but want to get your feet wet, without expectations, just enjoyment and eye-popping excellence, this is the night for you. Multiple top cuvées consistently reach the 95–97+ point range (which is nearly impossible for Burgundy), praised for combining density and extract with cut, energy, and crystalline detail. In serious company, these wines stand shoulder to shoulder with the most coveted white Burgundies in the Côte de Beaune, bottles that command five-figure prices, delivering comparable structure, gravitas, and longevity without speculative pricing.
The Boillot family’s roots date back generations assembling prized holdings across Batard-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Pommard along with purchase contracts that give rights to the Boillot's to farm themselves names such as Montrachet, Chambetin, Bonnes Mares & Corton Charlemagne just to name a few. They even own two Monopole vineyards that have been in discussions for Grand Cru promotions. Today, alongside his son Guillaume, the estate continues to refine a style defined by precision, restraint, and power without excess.
Anhelo will curate a progression designed to let the wines unfold naturally, tension, depth, texture, and length. This will be a small group to ensure proper pours and thoughtful discussion.
As always these dinners are done at cost, Firm commitment is appreciated as bottles are allocated and divided evenly.
