✨ Technical Specifications

The Beaune Premier Cru Cuve 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 cuve 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' rgisseur, it undergoes aging in oak casks before being completed by selected ngociants-leveurs. It displays a beautiful harmony of bright red berry fruits, earthy complexity, and fine-grained tannins.

🍾 About the Producer

Founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor to the Duke of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins, the Hospices de Beaune was established as a charitable hospital supported by donations of prime vineyard parcels. Today, the historic estate encompasses over 60 hectares of exceptionally situated Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across Burgundy's Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Revered worldwide for its historic charity wine auction held every November since 1859, the domaine employs meticulous, organic viticultural techniques to highlight the uncompromised terroir of each plot. Its celebrated portfolio consists of distinguished Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cuvées, each named in honor of prominent historical benefactors such as Cuvée Nicolas Rolin and Cuvée Charlotte Dumay.
