| The sale of the cuvées of the Hospices de Beaune |
Although the wine-growing domain is over five centuries old, the auction only dates from 1859.
Two days before the picturesque "sale by candle", the wine tastings take place in the Hospices cellars. In the Hôtel-Dieu this activity reawakens all the charms of these centuries-old cellars.
A dinner party in honour of Bacchus closes the festivities, in the superb setting of the medieval Bastion.
The Hospices de Beaune wine auction remains the most famous annual charity event in the world and all the professionals await it expectantly. In fact, this ceremony determines to some extent the quality and value of the year's harvest for the whole Burgundy.
