✨ Technical Specifications
The Cuvée des Dames Hospitalières is one of the most historic and revered red cuvées of the Hospices de Beaune, named in tribute to the dedicated nuns who tended to the sick and destitute at the Hôtel-Dieu since its founding in the 15th century. This Premier Cru red is crafted from select Pinot Noir parcels across some of Beaune's finest climats, including Les Bressandes, Les Theurons, and Les Mignottes. When acquired and matured by the respected Burgundy négociant Pierre André, the wine benefits from traditional Burgundian élevage in French oak casks. It showcases the classic Beaune Premier Cru character: a harmonious balance of bright red berry fruit, earthy forest floor, and elegant, velvety tannins, underpinned by a rich historical legacy of charity and craftsmanship.
🍾 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.
