Hospices de Beaune
The annual Hospices de Beaune auction, organized by Christie's since 2005, dates back to 1795 and takes place on the third Sunday of November. Founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins to support those in need. The Hospices de Beaune now own more than 60 hectares of prestigious vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Each year, the Cave de Mazenay purchases casks at this charitable auction, vinifies the wines and offers them for sale, thus contributing to this centuries-old tradition of generosity.
