The Cuvée Dom Goblet is a distinguished Beaune Premier Cru red wine from the historic Hospices de Beaune. It pays tribute to Dom Goblet, a Cistercian monk from the Abbey of Maizières who later became a priest in Beaune and bequeathed his valuable vineyard holdings to the Hospices in 1819. This cuvée is meticulously assembled from prized Premier Cru parcels within the Beaune appellation, notably featuring fruit from Les Avaux and other select climats. The clay and limestone soils of these slopes yield a Pinot Noir of remarkable grace, characterized by vibrant red berry aromas, earthy complexity, and refined, silky tannins. Following the estate's centuries-old tradition, the young wine is sold at the famous November charity auction before being entrusted to a Burgundy négociant for traditional oak cask aging.
🍾 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.
