Burgundy’s wine auctions – France
Enjoy the Côte d’Or region and the so called “Champs Elysées” of Burgundy, the route of the “Grands Crus” from “Côte de Nuits ” to “Côte de Beaune”. You will taste the finest grands crus and 1er cru wines. You will enjoy the visit of the famous “Hospices de Beaune” and the château “Clos Vougeot”.
The Hôtel-Dieu was founded on 4 August 1443, when Burgundy was ruled by Duke Philip the Good (Philippe le Bon) . Nicolas Rolin, the Duke’s Chancellor, and his wife Guigone de Salins, decided to create a hospital and refuge for the poor.
One of the unique characteristics of the Hospices Civils de Beaune is their wine producing estate. Most of these vineyard plots are located in prestigious appellations. They are nearly all first growths and great growths.
Although the wine-growing domain is over five centuries old, the auction only dates from 1859.
Two days before the picturesque «sale by candle», the wine tastings take place in the Hospices cellars. In the Hôtel-Dieu this activity reawakens all the charms of these centuries-old cellars. A dinner party in honour of Bacchus closes the festivities, in the superb setting of the medieval Bastion.
