Hospices de Beaune The Saga of a Winemaking Hospital
Laurent Gotti
The third Sunday of November, the famous Hospices de Beaune perform their annual, 150 year-old act of altruism: the hospital puts its wines up for sale in the world's oldest charity auction. These cuvées capture the attention of an entire profession and the passion of those who taste them. A new page in the chronicle of this unusual winemaking hospital is written each year, with each new vintage, and fascinates the entire world. Laurent Gotti reveals all the aspects of this extraordinary saga: its centuries of rich history, its vineyards, and its vignerons who, over time, allow the development of each vintage. He also carries us to the heart of the auction. Buyers come from all over the world: Japan, Germany, the United States. Many big names from show business, literature, and science have presided over the event. Gotti's intimate knowledge of his subject allows us to learn in detail the history and provenance of each of these cuvées that have brought joy to the most exacting connoisseurs for so many years.
