✨ Technical Specifications
The Cuvée Cyrot-Chaudron is a distinguished red Burgundy from the Hospices de Beaune, established from a historic 1979 donation by Jean Cyrot and his wife. This cuvée is meticulously assembled from prized Pinot Noir parcels within the premier cru climats of Beaune, where limestone and clay soils yield a wine of outstanding structure, elegance, and longevity. Following the annual charity auction, the wine is aged in oak casks by chosen négociants-éleveurs, resulting in a classic expression of Beaune terroir characterized by bright red cherry, forest floor, and refined, silky 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.
