Christie’s to take over the auction at Hospice de Beaune

It is a very traditional affair mainly open to the trade, but also to some extent the public. According to information in the press the English auction house Christie’s will take over the responsibility for the auctions. Another change is that they will start auctioning wines in bottles. Traditionally it has only been wines in barrel that was offered, which of course is a bit inconvenient for private buyers. This year the auction will take place on November 18-20
