Press Kit for the 161st Hospices de Beaune Charity Auction

19/11/2021

The auction, which can include several lots, is the most famous and oldest charity wine auction in the world (established in 1859). In keeping with its founding values, each year the Hospices de Beaune supports a charity by donating the profits from the sale of a pièce of wine, known as the “President’s Pièce”.

The proceeds from the sale of the wines are used to maintain the hospital’s heritage and to modernise its equipment and buildings.
