It's the smart pick in a sale better known for its trophies. The cuvée is a Beaune Premier Cru Pinot Noir blended from three climats: Les Grèves, Les Aigrots and La Mignotte. The Hospices explains that each one does a job. Chert and sandy soils give the wine a refined start, the heavier clays of Les Aigrots fill out the middle, and the young vines of La Mignotte add a generous finish. The name honours two brothers. Hugues Bétault was an equerry and Counsellor-Secretary to the King of France, and in the 17th century he saved the Hôtel-Dieu from ruin during war and epidemics. He built it an airy infirmary and bought land for its gardens, and after his death his brother Louis made several more gifts. This 2008 was raised by Louis Jadot, so here's a chance to drink Hospices Beaune with well over a decade in bottle, from a cuvée valued for what's in the glass, not the headlines.","brand":"Acker Merrall \u0026 Condit [AC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50820834263097,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-PVT-ACELL-PEPE-101626-HBB1CCHLBLJ2008-ROW28-BOX 23","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/hospices-de-beaune-beaune-1er-cru-cuvee-hugues-et-louis-betault-eleve-par-louis-jadot-2008-acell-pepe-pvt","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
