The 2020 wines of Beaune
Maximum of 14 people
€75/person
Beaune, capital of Burgundy wines, is known for its rich history, gastronomy, the famous Hospices de Beaune, and the renowned wine Houses with their extensive underground cellars.
For over 160 years, all eyes have been on Beaune during its famous Hospices Wine Auction, which remains the largest wine auction in the world. With its 413 hectares of vineyards, Beaune has been the reference wine of the Dukes of Burgundy and the Canons of Beaune.
While white wines are more confidential, with only 44 hectares, they still shine on certain suitable terroirs. Today, Maison Joseph Drouhin is fortunate to own over 20 hectares in this historic appellation, including some emblematic terroirs such as Clos des Mouches and Grèves.
During this tasting, you will explore Beaune through the lens of the 2020 vintage, featuring a selection of six wines:
. Côte de Beaune Blanc 2020
. Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches blanc 2020
. Beaune Premier Cru Cras 2020
. Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches rouge 2020
. Beaune Premier Cru Grèves 2020
. Hospices de Beaune, Beaune Premier Cru Cuvée Maurice Drouhin 2020

The dukes' Paulée

On the occasion of the 163th Hospices de Beaune wine auction festival, we are pleased to propose you the first « Dukes' Paulée », taking place in the ancient Burgundy Dukes and France Kings' cellar. The « Paulée », wine auction's symbol, is a synonyme of sharing and conviviality. It's simple : we are in charge of the aperitif and the dinner. You will bring one or several of your nice bottles, so we will share together ! This year, it will be a musical atmosphere thanks to the participation of the New Orleans jazz group « little treme » where Charleston sounds would be lively !
