Lee Ho Fook - 11-15 Duckboard Pl Melbourne, AU-VIC, 3000

A once-in-a-lifetime dinner where guests will be able to drink some incredibly rare wines from the Jura - all from magnum. The dinner is limited to 12 people to ensure that each guest receives a generous glass or two of each wine - I believe it is important to be able to watch each wine evolve over the evening, allowing them to reveal their nuances and complexities. It's also a nice way to respect each vigneron and the time, hard work and passion that has gone into producing each wine.

We are moving this dinner to the city, to make it more accessible for guests. Lee Ho Fook is one of Melbourne's best restaurants. The cuisine is exceptional, and will match perfectly with these wines. We will be eating the banquet menu (with the addition of the Wagyu), which you can view online here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/600a7a80b232b75f58bbfa17/t/65d2f9a9e0780b23c03021c4/1708325289654/Banquet+Menu+180.pdf

*Please note due to the nature of this menu we cannot cater for vegetarian or vegan dietaries at this time.

The wines:

2014 Jean-François Ganevat Côtes du Jura 'Cuvée Marguerite' (Melon à Queue Rouge)

2012 Domaine des Murmures VDF (Savagnin)

2019 Nicolas Jacob Côtes du Jura 'Les Chazaux' (Savagnin)

2019 Domaine de la Touraize Arbois 'Ammonites' (Chardonnay)

2020 Domaine de la Touraize Arbois 'La Cabane' (Ploussard)

2020 Renaud Bruyère et Adeline Houillon Arbois Pupillin 'En Aspis' (Ploussard)

2019 Jean-François Ganevat Côtes du Jura 'Plein Sud' (Trousseau)

2016 Domaine Bornard Arbois Pupillin 'Le Ginglet' (Trousseau)

Guests will also receive a complimentary glass of 2020 Domaine de la Touraize Crémant du Jura on arrival.

The cost is $600, which includes all wines, food, and a tip for service. The majority of these wines are extremely hard to source, let alone in magnum. The rarest is the 2012 Domaine des Murmures Savagnin - this is from Emmanuel Lançon's first vintage, where he produced a miniscule amount of wines from his 0.8ha holdings. This 2012 is impossible to find magnum format (or in 750ml for that matter), and would sell for ~2000€ at auction, possibly more. You will likely never see it again.

I can't wait to open and share these with you all - this is potentially the only time a dinner with all of these magnums combined will occur anywhere in the world. My travels and passion for locating such magnums has taken years of dedication and persistence, and I have wanted to do this dinner for a long time. It's not to be missed - I look forward to seeing you all there!

You will receive an electronic ticket once you make your purchase.

*Please note: due to the nature of this dinner and limited seats available, tickets are non-refundable. However, you may transfer them to another guest if you are unable to make it for any reason.
