Hospices de Beaune, 2015 Beaune 1. cru Cuvee Brunet MG

Hospices de Beaune’s 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Brunet is a beautiful expression of classic Burgundy, combining the prestige of one of the region’s most historic domaines with the refinement of Côte de Beaune terroir. Made from Pinot Noir and later matured under the care of Albert Bichot, it offers a polished, cellar-worthy style that balances freshness, depth, and elegance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a bright, elegant ruby-red color. The nose opens with aromas of raspberry, red cherry, violet, and a gentle touch of spice, all underscored by a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it is generous at first, then quickly turns more refined and silky, with fresh red fruit, fine structure, and a discreet saline-mineral finish. It has excellent aging potential and should continue to gain complexity over 8 to 15 years, developing notes of forest floor, dried flowers, and softer tannins.

Production
Cuvée Brunet is crafted from several prized Beaune 1er Cru climats, including Bressandes, Teurons, and Cent Vignes, each contributing a different layer to the wine’s profile. The soils vary from deep clay, which brings structure, to chalky and stonier parcels that add finesse and a lightly saline mineral character. Vinification at Hospices de Beaune follows a traditional approach focused on balance and terroir expression, after which Albert Bichot carefully ages the wine in their cellars using a thoughtful mix of barrels and controlled maturation to enhance harmony and complexity.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for duck, veal, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, poultry in sauce, and mild to medium-aged cheeses. Serve at around 15–17°C for the best expression of its fruit and texture. Decanting is recommended if the wine is young, especially to open up its aromas and soften the structure.

Producer
Hospices de Beaune is one of Burgundy’s most iconic and historic wine institutions, renowned for its annual charity auction, where the finest parcels from the Côte de Beaune are sold to selected négociants. Albert Bichot is among the key buyers and plays an important role in aging and developing the wines in its cellars. Together, they help preserve and present one of the region’s most celebrated traditions, while the estate continues to evolve with a more sustainable and precision-driven style.
