Italian doctor Augustino Mazzoli was captivated by Beaune’s beauty, so he elected to live there, and became one of the Hôtel-Dieu’s frst doctors, dying in 1505.

This Cuvée consists of Premier Crus vineyards in Les Plures and Santenots. Over 30% of them were planted between 1948 and 1959, with 51% averaging 51 years of age, and the balance being over 33 years old.

With his generous deed, he wished to honour and commemorate his wife Christine, who had recently passed away, and who had also been a great lover of Burgundy. The production of the Santenay vineyard which now enriches the patrimony of the Hospices was auctioned for the first time in 2010.

History

Etienne Lebelin was the first chaplain of the Hospice de la Charité, and one of many members of the family to be a benefactor. This is an old-established Beaune family –seven Lebelins became Mayor, in the century from 1531. Jean-Jacques and Marguerite Lebelin gave 10,000 livres – an enormous sum at the time – to the Hôtel-Dieu in 1704, which was very welcome. This was a dark period for Beaune, of frosts, bad harvests, famine and wars, as Louis XIV’s reign drew to a close. Half of the vines constituting this Cuvée were planted in 1950, with the balance dating from 1951-76.
