Originating from the exquisite terroirs of Bressandes, Theurons, and Mignottes, this cuvée intertwines the finesse, salinity, and vigor of these diverse soils.

Poised, refreshing, and delightfully precise, this Beaune delivers an elegant portrayal of Pinot Noir. We're smitten!

It's the world's most famous charitable auction! Every year in late November, the Hospices de Beaune welcome a host of connoisseurs, enthusiasts, and professionals who come to assess the new vintage.

In late November 2021, our team of experts traveled to experience and taste the young, budding wines, just a few weeks old, before taking part in the renowned auction.

Our top picks were a Pommard and a Beaune 1er Cru, secured amidst the sound of the gavel, after an intense bidding war. It was essential to entrust these valuable treasures to someone skilled in maturing the wines to their fullest potential.
Who better to oversee the aging of these nectars than the manager of the Hospices herself, Ludivine Griveau, with the assistance of her two partners, Frédéric and Mathieu, within the boutique wine brokerage, Pierre Mayeul Côtes et Climats!
