Beaune 1er Cru "Cuvée Hugues et Louis Betault" 2018 – Hospices de Beaune

The Domaine des Hospices de Beaune, often called a "winemaking hospital," has a legacy spanning over 500 years. Its origins date back to 1457, when Jean Guillotte le Verrier donated vines to the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune. This tradition of vine donations continues to this day, and each "Cuvée" often carries the name of the family who contributed the plots. The Beaune 1er Cru "Cuvée Hugues et Louis Betault" 2018 is one such historic expression, capturing centuries of Burgundy heritage and craftsmanship in a single bottle.

Prestigious Vineyards & Global Recognition

Covering 60 hectares, the Domaine dedicates 85% of its land to 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards.
