It is now a modern hospital, with the original buildings serving as a museum. Since 1859, a charity wine auction has raised funds for the hospital with the wines produced being released under the Hospice's umbrella label. The wines are made at the Hospices winery from around 60 hectares (150 acres) of vineyard holdings which have been donated to the charity over many decades. Much of these are in premier and grand cru vineyard sites including Clos de la Roche, Mazis-Chambertin and Corton. As of 2018 there are 50 cuvées which can be made; 33 red wine and 17 white wines. Along with the identity of the Grand Cru or Premier Cru, each label features the name of the historic donor. The auction of these just-made wines in barrel takes place on the third Sunday in November, with both amateurs and professionals bidding. Prices tend to exceed 'normal' market values but give some indication of likely trends for bulk wine prices for the coming year. The wines are then shipped to the negociant-eleveur designated by the purchaser (who may themselves be a wine producer) who age the wines in barrel and then bottle them. The name of this company typically appears on the label, along with the purchaser and the cuvée name. Thus the style of any given cuvée can vary greatly from year to year. The growth in scale of the auction has meant that independent specialists have been required to run proceedings – Christies have managed the event since 2005. Auction tastings now take place in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-27T17:02:36-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-27T14:59:49-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK240324","Other_Wine","Producer_Hospices de Beaune","Region_Cote de Beaune","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Pinot Noir"],"price":59999,"price_min":59999,"price_max":59999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44550735822986,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2008 | Hospices de Beaune | Volnay Premier Cru Cuvee Blondeau (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":59999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/photo_2023-01-10_23-33-44_ce459aa6-0c64-4a67-b558-c0c139cb11de.jpg?v=1711566487"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/photo_2023-01-10_23-33-44_ce459aa6-0c64-4a67-b558-c0c139cb11de.jpg?v=1711566487","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2008 | Hospices de Beaune | Volnay Premier Cru Cuvee Blondeau (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":26571573690506,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":300,"width":300,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/photo_2023-01-10_23-33-44_ce459aa6-0c64-4a67-b558-c0c139cb11de.jpg?v=1711566487"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":300,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/photo_2023-01-10_23-33-44_ce459aa6-0c64-4a67-b558-c0c139cb11de.jpg?v=1711566487","width":300}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2008 | Hospices de Beaune | Volnay Premier Cru Cuvee Blondeau (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright dress of a deep ruby.
