The estate and the wine |

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! |

Crafted from a blend of markedly diverse plots to capitalize on the intricacy and synergies of the appellation's terroirs, this Pommard underscores the elegance of its vintage. Right from the first pour, it presents delightful floral undertones, followed by a medley of fresh red fruits, evoking sugared strawberries. This zest persists on the palate, enveloped by a robust yet velvety texture, a hint of sour candy, sheer sophistication, and dignified wood nuances. Such radiance! |
