✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor to the Duke of Burgundy, and Guigone de Salins as the charitable Hôtel-Dieu hospital, the Domaine des Hospices de Beaune represents one of the most storied institutions in viticultural history. Comprising approximately 60 hectares amassed through centuries of philanthropic bequests, the domaine spans over a hundred individual parcels across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, supplemented by small outposts in the Mâconnais and Chablis. Over 85% of its vineyards claim Premier or Grand Cru status, rooted predominantly in classic Jurassic limestone and marl soils. Chief winemaker Ludivine Griveau, the first female régisseur in the estate's history, completed the transition to full organic certification with the 2024 vintage. Vinified in Beaune before being offered as barrel lots during the historic annual November auction, benchmark red cuvées such as Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins, alongside benchmark white expressions like François de Salins, display pure fruit expression, terroir transparency, and refined structural precision.
