Hospices de Beaune

Unique wines from Burgundy

The Hospices de Beaune, located in the heart of the Côte d'Or in the town of Beaune, is known for its historical significance and influence on the wine industry. Founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of the Duchy of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins, this hospital, also known as Hôtel-Dieu, originally served

to care for the sick and poor.

The Hospices de Beaune is particularly famous for its annual wine auction, which has been taking place on the third Sunday in November since 1859. This event, known as the “Trois Glorieuses” or the Three Glorious Days, is a highlight in the Burgundy wine calendar and attracts wine lovers from all over the world. The auction will sell 50 different cuvées, including both red and white wines, and the proceeds support the hospital's charitable activities.

A unique aspect of Hospices de Beaune is its extensive vineyards, which cover more than 60 hectares, 85% of which are classified as Premier and Grand Cru. These vineyards have been donated by grateful families and benefactors over the centuries to continue the philanthropic mission of the Hospice. The vineyards are mostly planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and produce some of Burgundy's most renowned wines.

A particular highlight of the auction is the “Pièce du Président” or the presidential barrel, a special ticket that is auctioned off by candlelight to support various charities. This lot often attracts the highest bids and is the highlight of the event, at which prominent personalities often act as auctioneers.
