After many reversals of the situation, the 160th sale of the wines of the Hospices de Beaune was finally postponed sine die. A prefectural decision taken Saturday, November 14 in the evening, only a few hours before the start of the event. The 160th auction of the Hospices de Beaune will not take place, as every year, on the 3rd weekend of November. Initially scheduled for Sunday, November 15, it was postponed by the sub-prefect of Côte-d'Or the night before. A decision that comes 24 hours after the surprise suspension of the event by the sales council, the auction regulatory authority in France. https://twitter.com/hospicescivils/status/1327688935410192385 No rescheduling date has been mentioned. This year, 560 pieces (228-litre barrels) from the Hospices de Beaune winery are to be auctioned. Wines very popular with the great houses of Burgundy, but also with international buyers. In 2019, total revenues exceeded €12 million.
