Maison Evenstad, 'Hospices de Beaune' Bundle

Both of these wines are sourced from the historic Hospices de Beaune charitable Wine Auction and both are very important to the history of Château de la Crée. Guigone de Salins was the wife of Nicolas Rolin - the founder of Château de la Crée in 1431. She inspired her husband to participate in works of charity and they created the historic Hospices de Beaune in 1443, a hospital for the less fortunate in Burgundy that continued as the hospital for the city of Beaune into the 1970’s. Even after her husband’s death in 1462 she continued to run the Hospices de Beaune until the end of her life and devoted herself to the comfort of the sick and less fortunate. We are extremely proud to offer these exceptional Cuvées under the Maison Evenstad label to pay homage to the co-creator of the cherished Hospices de Beaune.

For the 'Cuvée Guigone de Salins', the nose gives notes of rendered bacon, spice nutmeg, black pepper, licorice, and pine. The palate is savory and overshadowed by big tannin. This wine is delicate with a strong full mouth. 

For the 'Cuvée Nicolas Rolin' enjoy the chocolatey and sweet aromas, with notes of cherry and raspberry. The palate is fruit-forward, with flavors of plum and berry.
