HOSPICES DE BEAUNE

A famous establishment if ever there was one, the Hospices de Beaune in Burgundy has the unique distinction of fulfilling a triple purpose: medical, tourism and viticulture. This originality is explained by the site's history. In the 15th century, the founders built a hospital, the Hôtel-Dieu, in the traditional Burgundian architectural style.

Geographical location

The Domaine viticole des Hospices de Beaune covers 60 hectares. Its Grands Crus and Premiers Crus come mainly from Beaune and the surrounding area: Meursault, Monthelie, Auxey-Duresses, Puligny-Montrachet, Savigny-les-Beaune, Pommard, Volnay and Pernand-Vergelesses. The Hospices de Beaune also produce wines in the Côte de Nuit and in the Mâconnais region, in Pouilly-Fuissé. Pinot Noir represents 50 hectares of vines for the production of red wines. White wine comes from around ten hectares planted with Chardonnay.

The wines

The grapes are harvested by hand, and undergo a vinification process adapted to each vintage. Destemming is carried out only when necessary. The cuvées are meticulously blended from different climates, giving the Domaine's wines their distinctive character.
