As well as the price (the en primeur purchase price is around 30% below that of the wines’ selling price in a few years’ time) and the reassurance provided by Albert Bichot’s reliability and experience as the top buyer for 15 years, if you purchase through us at the Hospices de Beaune 2012, you will enjoy numerous additional benefits.  

 

 

1 Follow the development of your wine “as if you were there in Beaune”

Buying at the auction is a unique opportunity to discover the fascinating world of Burgundy wine. After you have bought these fabulous wines, you will naturally wish to follow your wines’ development as they are matured. Each buyer will receive several newsletters by email over the year updating him/her on how we are tending to the wines. These e-newsletters will cover technical topics related to the maturing of the wine in our cellars (racking, stirring up of a white wine, etc) or a «private tasting» by a member of Albert Bichot’s technical teams. You will learn all about our craft and how your wines are developing over time.

 

2 Enjoy exclusive benefits

Hospices buyers can also benefit from exclusive special offers:

- Aquire old vintages that are usually impossible to find
- Enjoy special offers and preferential prices for Maison Albert Bichot’s Burgundy wines
- Get together with other wine lovers at fun events in major French towns (and maybe abroad one day!)

 

 

 

3 Home delivery in wooden cases with a cellar book as keepsake

After bottling, these fine wines will be delivered to you in a superb wooden case bearing the name of the wine. All you have to do now is enjoy them, or leave them to age for a few more years until they reach the drinking age you prefer.
The wine comes with a souvenir cellar book in which you will find:
- the history of the cuvée and the Hospices de Beaune
- an overview of the 2012 harvest
- space to jot down your own tasting notes.
The cellar book is an original souvenir of your participation in the Hospices de Beaune 2012 auction.
