A Centuries-Old Institution

The Hospices de Beaune vineyards span over 60 hectares across Burgundy, mainly in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, but spanning from Mâconnais in the South, to Chablis in the North of the Burgundy wine region. The Domaine has been built up over the years and centuries by successive donations, making it now one of the most renowned vineyards of Burgundy, with 80% of the Cuvées composed of Premier Crus and Grand Crus. No fewer than 86 climats are represented to produce the 52 cuvées offered at auction.

This year, 52 cuvées are offered for sale, including a new Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru cuvée.

The 52 Cuvées

Since 1978, an important lot, called the “Pièce de Charité” or Charity Barrel, is included in the Hospices de Beaune wine auction and represents its charitable vocation. This lot consists of one entire barrel of an exceptional wine, donated by the Hospices de Beaune and sold for the benefit of two charities.
