Hospices Archives and First Wine Sale

Hospices archives reveal how the first Beaune wine sale emerged from hospital records, registers and Burgundy wine history.

About this event


Olga Ponchet of the Côte-d’Or Departmental Archives traces the beginnings of the Hospices de Beaune wine sale. Correspondence from Hôtel-Dieu bursar Joseph Pétasse and catalogues of vintages reveal how the auction took shape.
