Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Vergelesses" 2020 – Hospices de Beaune
The Domaine des Hospices de Beaune is a prestigious "winemaking hospital" with over five centuries of history. Founded in 1457, the estate began when Jean Guillotte le Verrier donated vines to the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune. This tradition of vine donations allowed families and patients to express gratitude, and today, each "Cuvée" often carries the name of the family who contributed the plots. The Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Vergelesses" 2020 is a distinguished example, reflecting the heritage and craftsmanship of this historic estate.
Premier Cru Vineyards & Global Prestige
Covering 60 hectares, the Domaine dedicates 85% of its vineyards to Premier Cru and Grand Cru classifications. These prestigious plots produce wines that are highly sought after worldwide, showcased annually during the renowned Hospices de Beaune auction held every third weekend of November. Collectors and enthusiasts recognize these wines for their expression of terroir, refinement, and historical significance.
Élevage – Expert Aging to Reveal Complexity
Since 2017, Ludivine Giveau has overseen the Domaine, managing wines that are sold at the auction while still very young. After purchase, the wines require careful aging to fully develop. My father, a wine professional with over 35 years of experience, supervises a meticulous 16–18 month élevage process. This ensures each wine respects its terroir, enhancing its unique nuances, depth, and complexity, allowing it to reach its full potential.
