Hospices de Beaune - What is it?
The Beaune-based institution is a non-profit organization. Thanks to repeated donations throughout its history, it today owns more than 60 hectares of vines. Most of these vine parcels are situated in areas of prestigious wine appellations. Indeed, 85% of the Domaine is classified as Premiers Crus and Grands Crus.
On the 3rd Sunday of November, the Hospices de Beaune auctions the latest harvest which represents around a total of 50 Cuvées, each of them bearing the name of its initial donor and describing a particular type of wine.
After the Auction, your wine will be entrusted to a Burgundian merchant-winemaker who will follow its ageing and evolution until the moment chosen for its bottling (between 18 and 24 months after the auction).
