Hospices de Dijon was founded by Eudes III Duke of Burgundy in 1204 to help the poor and needy. This work continues to this day and is dependent on donations and legacies like its better known neighbour the Hospices de Beaune. The domaine built up by these charitable donations covers some of the top communes in Burgundy. Buying Hospices de Dijon wine will support the charitable works of this winery and allow them to continue the good works in the local community. One of the current projects is to support a centre in Beaune which cares for disabled adults by working with them in the vineyards under supervision. (12 x 75 cl)
A quietly elegant wine with good flavors of black fruit and licorice. Blackberry jam, vanilla and a touch of smoke in the nose. Especially good with grilled salmon. (6 x 75 cl)
