2020 Maison Evenstad, Hospices de Beaune, Beaune Premier Cru ‘Cuvée Nicolas Rolin’ Pinot Noir

This Cuvée is essential to our French portfolio, as Nicolas Rolin is noted as the original founder of Château de la Crée in 1431. He and his wife Guigone de Salins would go on to create 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 1970s. The hospital is now a World Heritage building. Ken and Grace Evenstad are extremely proud to offer this renowned Cuvée under the Maison Evenstad label to pay homage to the former Chancellor to Phillip the Good, the Duke of Burgundy. This blend of Beaune Premier Cru sites is composed of noteworthy vineyards such as Les Cent Vignes, Les Grèves, En Genêts, Les Bressandes, and Teurons.
