Nestled between the famous slopes of Volnay and Meursault, Month lie is often celebrated as one of Burgundy's best-kept secrets. The Cuv e Lebelin is a premier example of this appellation's charm, crafted from select Premier Cru parcels bequeathed to the Hospices de Beaune by the historic Lebelin family, who were prominent benefactors of the charity. The wine is primarily sourced from the esteemed 'Les Duresses' climat, where steep, south-facing clay-limestone soils yield Pinot Noir of remarkable purity and structure. Under the stewardship of the Hospices, this cuv e is vinified to showcase a classic Burgundian tension, marrying bright red berry fruit with earthy undertones, fine-grained tannins, and a graceful, mineral-driven finish.
🍾 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.
