HOSPICES DE BEAUNE

Albert Sounit has for some years been very active on the Hospice de Beaune Auction, which takes place every year in November. The Hospice was established in 1443 and has since 1859 mainly  been financed through the charity auctions, where the Hospice sell their wines from their own vineyards just a few month after the harvest. We buy red as well as white wine – 1. Cru as well as Grand Cru.

When we receive the barrels from Hospice de Beaune the wine is far from finished. Ahead is 1 – 2 years of careful vinification and maturing before they are bottled. A period, where the wines gets our outmost attention. By that time most of the wine will already be sold to our clients, who wants to secure them at En Primeur prices.
