The Beaune Premier Cru Cuv e Brunet is a historic red Burgundy crafted from select Premier Cru parcels within the Beaune appellation, notably Les Bressandes, Les Cent-Vignes, and Bas des Teurons. This cuv e honors the legacy of the Brunet family, particularly Jean-Baptiste Brunet, who made a highly significant bequest to the Hospices de Beaune in 1872. The wine is a classic expression of Beaune's diverse terroirs, combining the elegance and floral lift of Cent-Vignes with the structure and power of Bressandes. Traditionally vinified under the watchful eye of the Hospices' r gisseur, it undergoes aging in oak casks before being completed by selected n gociants- leveurs. It displays a beautiful harmony of bright red berry fruits, earthy complexity, and fine-grained tannins.

Founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins, the Hospices de Beaune is a historic charitable institution and wine estate located in Beaune, France. Over the centuries, generous donations of prestigious vineyard parcels have amassed an extraordinary 60-hectare estate, primarily consisting of Grand Cru and Premier Cru climats across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Under the precise direction of régisseur Ludivine Griveau, the estate meticulously crafts exceptional red Pinot Noir and white Chardonnay wines, which are famously sold at the annual charity auction on the third Sunday of November. These highly coveted cuvées, such as the Cuvee Nicolas Rolin and Cuvee Charlotte Dumay, represent the pinnacle of Burgundian terroir and philanthropic tradition, aged in oak casks before being completed by selected négociants-éleveurs of the region.
