Description

Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Maurice 2008 - Magnum dell'Hospices de Beaune, prodotto dalla rinomata cantina Drouhin, è un vino che incarna perfettamente l'eleganza e la complessità della Borgogna. Questo Premier Cru si distingue per il suo carattere raffinato e la sua straordinaria struttura. Il millesimo 2008, conservato in formato Magnum, garantisce una longevità superiore grazie alla lenta evoluzione del vino.

Al naso, questo vino offre un bouquet aromatico avvolgente con note di frutti rossi maturi, come ciliegia e lampone, accompagnate da toni floreali di violetta e un delicato accenno di spezie dolci e sottobosco. Al palato, il Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Maurice mostra una notevole freschezza e un eccellente equilibrio tra acidità e tannini setosi. La struttura è morbida e ben integrata, con un finale lungo e persistente che rivela sfumature minerali e un leggero sentore di vaniglia derivante dall'affinamento in legno.

Questo vino è ideale per accompagnare piatti di carne rossa arrosto, selvaggina o formaggi stagionati. La sua complessità e raffinatezza lo rendono anche un’opzione indiscutibile per il consumo meditativo. Il formato Magnum è perfetto per occasioni speciali, garantendo una presentazione scenografica e un'evoluzione ottimale del vino nel tempo.

Winery history

The institution originated around the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune, founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins. Over the centuries its vineyard holdings were built through bequests and donations, and the estate’s wines have traditionally been sold at auction each year on the third Sunday in November, a practice established in the nineteenth century.

Production philosophy

Vineyard management combines the aims of protecting public health and enhancing the viticultural heritage: proceeds from sales fund the hospital and the upkeep of the estate, while agronomic management focuses on soil care and sustainability, with an official conversion to organic farming completed recently.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Beaune, in the Côte-d'Or department, the estate covers approximately 60 hectares spread across numerous climats and appellations of the Côte de Beaune and beyond.
