Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges vintage 2024 full resultats, Albert Bichot remains the #1 buyer

Excellent results despite a historically low harvest for the 64th Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges wine auction (2024 vintage)

The 64th Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges wine sale took place on March 9, 2025 for the sale of the 2024 vintage, orchestrated for the first time by iDealWine, as always in the prestigious setting of the Château du Clos de Vougeot. While the 2024 harvest was historically low due to complicated climatic conditions, the quality of the wines was spot on.

The overall result of the sale of the 35.5 pieces of the 2024 vintage amounted to €796,000 (vs. 144 barrels last year). The average price per piece was up +41.5% on the last sale, testifying to the mobilization of buyers, despite an uncertain economic context.
For the first time, the Hospices de Nuits offered a sale of 240 bottles and 120 magnums from their oenothèque, in vintages between 2005 and 2017, raising a further €60,950.

Albert Bichot remains by far the number 1 buyer, a sign of our historic support

An independent, family-owned firm founded in 1831, Albert Bichot remains a major patron of culture and heritage in Burgundy. Renowned for its commitment and support for over 30 years as the 1st buyer of the Hospices de Beaune, Maison Albert Bichot also stands out among the great supporters of the Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges, to which it is historically linked. Indeed, until the 14th century, Hospices de Nuits wines were matured in the cellars of the Domaine du Clos Frantin in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Maison's current property adjoining the hospital.

Very good results for the charity barrel (Cuvée des Bienfaiteurs)

The Cuvée des Bienfaiteurs, whose profits are donated this year to the "Coucou Nous Voilou" association, which works for hospitalized children, has raised over €53,900 thanks to the generosity of 96 donors including Albert Bichot. For the first time, the Benefactors' cuvée is a Nuits-Saint-Georges blanc 1er cru Les Terres Blanches Cuvée Pierre de Pême, attesting to the growing popularity of white wines from this fine appellation.
