✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the steep, picturesque slopes of Pernand-Vergelesses, the Cuvée Rameau-Lamarosse is a distinguished Premier Cru red Burgundy with a rich charitable heritage. The cuvée owes its name to Marie Rameau-Lamarosse, who generously bequeathed her prized vineyard parcels to the Hospices de Beaune in 1934. These east-facing plots, primarily situated in the Premier Cru climat of 'Les Fichots', benefit from iron-rich clay and limestone soils that impart both power and mineral precision to the wine. Under the stewardship of the Hospices, the Pinot Noir grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and fermented before being sold at the legendary annual charity auction. The resulting wine is celebrated for its deep ruby color, vibrant aromas of wild cherries, blackcurrant, and underbrush, supported by a firm, elegant tannic structure that promises outstanding longevity.
🍾 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.
