It is always an expected event: a few days before the famous auction of the hospices of Beaune, the organizers announce the identity of the "president or presidents", these sponsors supporting the associations benefiting from the sale of the charity piece. For this edition of November 15, 2020, it is the singer Marc Lavoine who will be responsible for raising the price of this piece (barrel of 228L) of Clos de la Roche grand cru. The interpreter of "Elle a les yeux revolver", present only by videoconference, will thus support the beneficiaries of this sale, namely the hospital agents, represented by the France Hospital Federation (FHF) and the Management Committee of Social Works of Public Hospitals (CGOS). https://twitter.com/laFHF/status/1324349874293395457 In addition to this exceptional piece, 474 barrels of red and 156 barrels of white from the Domaine des Hospices will be on sale, for a total of 630 pieces. The manager of the Ludivine Griveau estate describes 2020 as an "unforgettable vintage", both for its particular context and for the very promising quality of the wines of the year.
