This prestigious white cuv e, 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-Genevri res. Combining parcels from both Genevri res Dessus and Genevri res 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.
🍾 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.
