✨ Technical Specifications
The Hospices de Beaune Cuvée Loppin is a prestigious white Burgundy crafted from select parcels in the renowned appellation of Meursault. This cuvée honors the legacy of the Loppin family, notable Burgundian benefactors who made generous donations to the Hospices de Beaune in the 17th century, including Jehan Loppin in 1656. Composed of fruit from highly regarded vineyards such as Meursault Premier Cru Charmes alongside village parcels like Les Criots and Les Crotots, this wine beautifully showcases the classic Meursault terroir. It is celebrated for its opulent texture, vibrant acidity, and complex mineral character, typically aged in French oak barrels to develop its signature notes of toasted hazelnuts, stone fruits, and white flowers.
🍾 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.
