Beaune Premier Cru Cuvée Guigone de Salins 2016, Hospices de Beaune

Racy great red

The wife of Nicolas Rolin, the founder of the Hospices de Beaune, Guigone de Salins, moved from Autun to Beaune after her husband’s death to take over the direction of the Hôtel-Dieu, to which she devoted a great deal of her dedication and fortune. This cuvée dedicated to him consists of three beautiful climates which are the Bressandes, the Seurey and the Champs-Pimont.
