The Read
About this event
Often dubbed a pinnacle event in the wine calendar, the Hospices de Beaune auction is the grand finale of Burgundy’s Trois Glorieuses weekend. Over 50 cuvées of the new Burgundy harvest – reds and whites from the Hospices’ own vineyards – are offered in barrel lots (Pièces) to an audience of négociants, collectors, philanthropists. Bidding is spirited (now conducted by Sotheby’s): prices often set records, especially for the celebrated Pièce des Présidents, a special barrel auctioned with pomp to benefit designated charities. Winning bidders secure future bottles of exceptional Burgundy while supporting medical care and historic preservation.
