The Hospices Civils de Beaune are organizing this auction in collaboration with Sotheby’s, the world leader in wine auctions. It will auction 52 cuvées divided into 34 red wines, 18 white wines and two cuvées of eaux-de-vie. Will be offered across 552 lots, featuring: 428 barrels of red wines and 111 barrels (110 plus two half barrels) of white wines. With the addition of the unique Presidents’ Barrel and 11 barrels of the eaux-de-vie, the sale comprises 551 barrels in total.
The charity lot known as the “Piece des Présidents” is for the first time a Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Cuvée François Faiveley, which will be sold to benefit for two associations : the EHCO association and the Robert Debré Children's Brain Institute. Both of which will be represented at the sale by luminaries from France’s celebrated film and music industry: actress Alice Taglioni, director Cédric Klapisch, DJ Martin Solveig and actor Vincent Lacoste.
