This year the Domaine des Hospices de Beaune was offering a smaller amount of wine: 543 barrels of red wine and 100 of white wine. A new cuvée was added – Santenay Cuvée Christine Friedberg. The sale featured 32 cuvées of red wine and 13 of white.
Since 2005, Christie’s has regularly organized tastings of the wines of the Hospices Beaune all over the world. This year, for the 150th sale, the Hospices and Christie’s wanted especially to look towards China, where Burgundy wines have yet to establish their reputation. A series of dinners and tastings took place in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. During the 150th sale, Asia became the second most important region, after Europe, for its number of registered bidders, and the value of wines acquired, over-taking the USA. Europe accounted for 85.5% of the sale ( by value), Asia 12.5%, USA 1.6%.
François Curiel, Chairman of Christie’s Asia with François de Ricqlès, Chairman of Christie’s France and Emmanuelle Vidal-Delagneau, Christie’s France Business Director conducted the auction. Over 300 clients competed fiercely, bringing about an almost equal total to the 2009 record (€5.4 million) – in spite of there being 156 fewer barrels in the sale.
“We are happy with the results, which are close to the 2009 record, even though we had 156 fewer barrels. The massive contribution of Europeans, who were the principal buyers at the sale and the dynamic input from Asian bidders accounted for this success. Asia is becoming the second most important market for great wines, ahead of North America, giving new opportunities for the Hospices de Beaune’s widening reputation. ” said Emmanuelle Vidal-Delagneau, Business Director and auctioneer in charge of the sale.
