La Paulée de Meursault

La Paulée de Meursault is a lunch celebrating the end of the grape harvest in Burgundy, France.

It has since evolved to become an international wine event, and an integral part of Les Trois Glorieuses, which also includes a charity auction held at the Hospices de Beaune and a formal dinner at the Clos de Vougeot.

[citation needed] A celebration of the greatest wines of Burgundy, Johnnes' version of La Paulée features seminars, tastings, and wine-paired dinners, culminating in the Saturday Grand Tasting and Gala Dinner.

The Financial Times has asserted that La Paulée "can reasonably be described as the greatest Bacchanalia on the face of the earth".
