伯恩济贫院(Hospices de Beaune)
伯恩济贫院(Hospices de Civiles de Beaune)曾是一家慈善救济所,于1443年在伯恩镇成立。它现在是一所现代化的医院,原有的建筑用作博物馆。自1859年以来,一场慈善葡萄酒拍卖会为该医院筹集了资金,所生产的葡萄酒以临终关怀的总括标签发行。
这些葡萄酒是在临终关怀酒厂从大约60公顷(150英亩)的葡萄园中酿造的,这些葡萄园几十年来一直捐赠给慈善机构。其中大部分位于premier和grand cru葡萄园,包括Clos de la Roche、Mazis Chambertin和Corton。
截至2018年,共有50个cuvées可供制造;33种红葡萄酒和17种白葡萄酒。除了Grand Cru或Premier Cru的身份外,每个标签都有历史捐赠者的名字。
这些刚酿制的桶装葡萄酒将于11月的第三个星期日拍卖,业余爱好者和专业人士都将参与竞拍。价格往往会超过“正常”市场价值,但也为来年散装葡萄酒价格的可能趋势提供了一些指示。然后将葡萄酒运至买方指定的谈判代表处(买方本身可能是葡萄酒生产商),由其在桶中陈酿葡萄酒,然后装瓶。该公司的名称通常与买方和cuvée名称一起出现在标签上。因此,任何给定cuvée e的风格每年都会有很大的变化。
拍卖规模的增长意味着需要独立专家来进行拍卖——佳士得自2005年以来一直在管理这场拍卖会。拍卖品鉴会现在在北京、上海和香港举行。
Hospices de Civiles de Beaune is a former charitable almshouse founded in 1443 in the town of Beaune. It is now a modern hospital, with the original buildings serving as a museum. Since 1859, a charity wine auction has raised funds for the hospital with the wines produced being released under the Hospice's umbrella label.
The wines are made at the Hospices winery from around 60 hectares (150 acres) of vineyard holdings which have been donated to the charity over many decades. Much of these are in premier and grand cru vineyard sites including Clos de la Roche, Mazis-Chambertin and Corton.
As of 2018 there are 50 cuvées which can be made; 33 red wine and 17 white wines. Along with the identity of the Grand Cru or Premier Cru, each label features the name of the historic donor.
The auction of these just-made wines in barrel takes place on the third Sunday in November, with both amateurs and professionals bidding. Prices tend to exceed 'normal' market values but give some indication of likely trends for bulk wine prices for the coming year. The wines are then shipped to the negociant-eleveur designated by the purchaser (who may themselves be a wine producer) who age the wines in barrel and then bottle them. The name of this company typically appears on the label, along with the purchaser and the cuvée name. Thus the style of any given cuvée can vary greatly from year to year.
The growth in scale of the auction has meant that independent specialists have been required to run proceedings – Christies have managed the event since 2005. Auction tastings now take place in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
