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.
🍾 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.
