Description
Hospices de Beaune Marc de Bourgogne Brandy 2011
As only dry skins and pips are used to make Marc de Bourgogne, the resulting spirit has less of a fruity character and is much more reliant on mouth-feel.
The history of the Hospices de Beaune dates back to 1443. The namesake of this luxurious Marc is a hospital founded to care for the sick and wounded after the 100 Year War between the English and French. It has remained an active hospital throughout five centuries, modernized over the years, with assets bequeathed and land donated to keep the facility solvent.
Bearing the label “Hospices de Beaune” serves at utmost exclusivity. It is very prestigious to be the highest bidder as the labels are produced only per the quantity won in auction each year.
This Marc from Les Hospices de Beaune comes from the House of Vedrenne, and is one of the most famous brandies available in France, and certainly one of the most rare.
