So Good We Bought A Barrell
Hospice De Beaune Wine
For those who may remember Paul returned from a trip to Burgundy in November 2019, (back when we were allowed out of our 5km and our Country) at the time rumour was that after sampling hundreds of wines with some of Irelands finest wine critics, he actually purchased a barrel at the 159th Annual Hospice de Beaune Auction (the worlds oldest and most famous wine auction) on behalf of The Corkscrew!! Current rumour is Burgundy supplies still haven't fully recovered, but we can't just point the finger at him for that!
We are ecstatic to now be able to let you know that the wine he purchased has now been bottled and should be on our shelves by mid-February. A whopping €12.27m of fine Burgundy passed under the hammer; there were 589 barrels on auction, 471 red and 118 white comprising of 50 different cuvées, 33 red and 17 white and he was blessed with success on his bid for a barrel of Raymond Cyrot Pommard.
This time of year we're usually psyching up for our annual Wine Fair, unfortunately we all know why it can't go ahead now. The proceeds of the 2019 auction went to 2 charities, they were the "Brain and Spine Institute" and "The Autor des Williams Association." At least we can take comfort in the fact that a drop of wine can go a long way and every sip can help!!
Cuvée Raymond Cyrot, Pommard 2019 (Pre-Order)
Monsieur and Madame Cyrot-Chaudron left their vineyards to the Hospices de Beaune in 1979. The gift included several plots of ancient vines, which were in perfect condition, yielding small quantities of fine fruit, and many of these have been retained. (This stemmed from a long tradition of unity between the hospital and winemakers dating back to the 15th Century when a French Aristocrat donated vineyards to the local hospital which partnered up with neighbouring winemakers and the sales from resulting wine went to helping the sick and needy)
Hospice de Beaune Tasting Notes By Jasper Morris MW
"A lively fresh bright purple colour. The fruit is suavely ripe, with a crunchy mineral character at the back, a little bit of dry tannin too. This still has the aromatics of fermenting grapes, it is the most backward of the Pommards, but will absolutely deliver the austere and robust qualities of the appellation."
