The Hospices of Beaune:

Every year, on the third Sunday of November, the famous "candlelight" auction of the Grands Vins du Domaine des Hospices takes place, built up over the centuries thanks to generous donations. These great wines in barrels are taken care of by the buyers who have the delicate mission of aging and bottling them.

About the vintage:

Created in homage to Madame and Monsieur Cyrot-Chaudron, benefactors of the Beaune hospital who bequeathed several plots of old vines in Pommard in 1979. It is one of the three Pommard village cuvées of the Hospices.

This vintage was acquired and bottled by the F. Protheau et Fils estate. It is a blend of several climates, Les Charmots, Les Riottes, Les Rugiens bas, Les Bertins, Les Vaumuriens bas and La Vache

About the 1999 vintage:

1999 is a "very great vintage" for Burgundy wines. The climatic conditions were ideal, with a hot and dry summer, which allowed the grapes to reach a beautiful maturity, while retaining a beautiful acidity. The wines produced in 1999 are therefore very well structured, with great finesse and a beautiful aromatic complexity.
