Selektion Burgund 2019
Burgundy subscription
Das Wichtigste zuerst: Die Serie von sehr guten Jahrgängen im Burgund hält an. 2018 ist wieder ein herausragender Burgunder-Jahrgang, geprägt von einem heissen, sonnigen Sommer und Herbst.
The Burgundy subscription – a real experience
Burgundy does not have a traditional “en primeur” week. The best-known event is the wine auction at the Hospices de Beaune, which is the world’s largest charity wine auction.
To this day, the Hospices de Beaune is funded mainly through income from the vineyards bequeathed to the foundation by patients since it was established. Every year, over the third weekend in November, it celebrates the “Trois Glorieuses”, or the Three Glorious Days. In the course of these festivities, wines produced from the foundation’s holdings are sold at auction. For the wine trade, the prices obtained at the auction are an indicator of the quality of a vintage.
Each auction is preceded by a tasting with experts from around the globe, where each vintage is discussed and assessed.
How do we choose our Burgundy subscription wines?
In early January, our wine experts travel to Burgundy for a week to taste the latest vintage and make a preselection. At this point, the wines have not yet been assessed by famous wine critics.
Following a blind tasting in a neutral environment, the best wines are included in our selection. During the tasting, the producers announce their wine prices and offer the wines for sale.
So that you can get an idea of the quality of each wine, our wine experts write a report on the general quality of the vintage, including winemaker profiles and their own tasting notes.
