Who won the special charity coin auction in 2022?

The charity lot, or ‘Presidents’ lot’, held a very special symbolic significance for the 162nd edition of the Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction. The death of Louis-Fabrice Latour, a Burgundian wine merchant and an iconic figure in the Burgundian wine industry, one month before the auction, deeply moved the wine-growing community of Beaune and the Pays Beaunois. It was in his honour that the houses of Louis Latour and Joseph Drouhin, along with other Burgundian wine houses (Badet Clément, Albert Bichot, Groupe Boisset, Bouchard Père et Fils, Champy, Chanson, Joseph Drouhin, Faiveley, Louis Jadot, Olivier Leflaive, Patriarche and Veuve Ambal), won the auction for the bottle of Corton Grand Cru , presented in a cask specially crafted by the Maison Latour cooperage. This outpouring of generosity is in keeping with the tradition of charity that has underpinned the values of the Hospices de Beaune since their foundation in 1443. In 2024, the charity lot was purchased by Mr Alaor Pereira Lino, a partner at Anima Vinum, for €360,000. This 164th edition ranks as the second-highest in terms of sales!

What is the average price of a bottle of wine sold at auction in Beaune?

One ‘pièce’ of wine is equivalent to 228 litres of wine. The 802 ‘pièces’ of wine were sold for a total of 32 million euros. This works out at an average price of €39,900 per ‘pièce’, or €175 per litre, or around €131 per bottle. Suffice to say that the ‘Hospices de Beaune’ label is a guarantee of a rare and highly sought-after product. The casks that fetched the highest bids were for the Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Cuvée Dames des Flandres. Buyers had to pay €300,000 to secure the five casks of this exceptional wine. The year 2023 confirms the interest in this extraordinary wine, with prices rising by 14 per cent The year 2023 fell slightly short of the historic records set in 2022. The average price per litre of Burgundy wine, including both red and white, reached ‘only’ €136, or €107 per bottle.

Who are the patrons of the Presidents’ Room for the 165th Wine Auction in 2025?
