Robuchon au Dôme · Grand Lisboa, Macau
The legendary 1961 vintage — one of Bordeaux’s greatest ever produced
The Setting
The evening unfolds beneath the iconic dome of Robuchon au Dôme — Macau’s only French restaurant to have retained three MICHELIN stars for 18 consecutive years, and a recipient of the Wine Spectator Grand Award every year since 2005.
Behind it sits Asia’s most extensive and exclusive collection of Old and New World wines: 17,800 labels and over 500,000 bottles.
The Centrepiece
“Tasted like liquid silk and truffles.” Widely considered one of the greatest wines made in the entire 20th century. Château Palmer · Margaux
Every legendary winery has a single vintage that cements its status in history. For Palmer, it was 1961.
Due to terrible spring weather, the crop was incredibly small — but the remaining grapes were hyper-concentrated.
While 1961 was a great year across Bordeaux, Château Palmer produced an absolute masterpiece. It famously beat the First Growths in blind tastings for decades — and that single year rocketed Palmer into global stardom.
A Historic Return
In May 2005, Thomas Duroux and the Château Palmer winemaking team travelled to Hotel Lisboa in Macau to undertake a legendary, historic re-corking of 480 bottles of their iconic 1961 Château Palmer.
This milestone marked the very first time the prestigious Bordeaux estate had carried out a re-corking project outside its château in France.
After 21 years of resting, Thomas is returning to Macau to open those re-corked wines — preserving their heritage for the future.
The Hosts
The CEO of Château Palmer returns to Macau more than twenty years after his historic visit — co-hosting with the chef who has held three MICHELIN stars for eighteen years.

Guiding this epicurean journey is Mr. Thomas Duroux, an agricultural engineer, trained oenologist, and the CEO of Château Palmer.
Returning to Macau more than 20 years after his historic visit, he will co-host the evening alongside Chef Julien Tongourian. Together, they will share profound insights into an iconic lineup of Palmer wines, paired flawlessly with exquisite French cuisine.
Three-MICHELIN-Starred Chef · Robuchon au Dôme
A six-course haute French menu, personally designed to bring out the character of each exceptional vintage. Chef Julien began his career in 1996 and worked with legendary Chef Joël Robuchon for more than 20 years. After leading esteemed kitchens in Paris and Hong Kong, he became Executive Chef of Robuchon au Dôme in 2015.
Under his leadership, the restaurant has consistently earned Three MICHELIN Stars for 18 consecutive years.
