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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
