Hommage aux Hospices de Beaune by Albert Bichot

03/10/2022

22 exceptional boxed sets containing 6 Hospices grands vins and an invitation to enjoy a half-day private tour of the Albert Bichot cellars presented a few weeks before the 162d Hospices de Beaune auction (20th of November).

Less than two months before the Hospices de Beaune auction, where a generous 2022 vintage will be sold in Beaune, Albert Bichot is premiering a unique collection of 6 Hospices de Beaune grands vins in a luxurious wooden box. With the purchase of the boxed set, the buyer receives an exclusive invitation to the Albert Bichot cellars for a half-day tour and a private tasting in the very cellar where these fine wines for a fine cause are aged with the greatest of care and respect.

Reflecting the rarity of the Hospices wines, only 22 Hommage aux Hospices by Albert Bichot boxed sets have been created. This number is a nod to the very promising 2022 vintage, a vintage that is as generous as this unique offer that combines exceptional wines with a private tour.

According to Albéric Bichot, "we created this exclusive boxed set to offer fine wine lovers a new experience. It features six exceptional wines skilfully aged in our cellars. It is an invitation to enjoy the wines with a chance to learn more about the exceptional relationship that we enjoy with the Domaine des Hospices, an icon of our Burgundy region, as the auction’s top buyer for more than 25 years."
