The world's most famous charity wine auction, the Hospices de Beaune Wine Sale takes place every year on the 3ᵉ Sunday in November.
Professionals, connoisseurs and ordinary wine lovers gather for 3 days of festivities, in pure Burgundian tradition.
To mark the occasion, many wine merchants and estates are opening their cellars.
On the programme: prestige tastings, old vintages, grands crus and, of course, cellar tours.
