✨ Technical Specifications

This prestigious white cuve, named in honor of Philippe le Bon (Philip the Good), the Duke of Burgundy who ruled during the founding of the Hospices de Beaune in 1443, is sourced from the legendary Premier Cru climats of Meursault-Genevrires. Combining parcels from both Genevrires Dessus and Genevrires Dessous, this wine benefits from the classic clay-limestone soils of the slope, which impart a signature tension and flinty minerality. Crafted from old Chardonnay vines, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation and aging in French oak casks. It is celebrated for its opulent yet precise profile, weaving together rich notes of toasted hazelnut, white flowers, ripe citrus, and a vibrant, saline-driven finish that reflects the very best of Meursault's terroir.

🍾 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.
