The greatest wine and gastronomic weekend in Burgundy, centered around the Hospices de Beaune Wine Sale
About Les Trois Glorieuses
Three days of wine celebration
The Trois Glorieuses de Beaune are the most prestigious annual event in the Burgundy vineyard. Established in 1934 by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, in reference to the Three Glorious Days of the July Revolution of 1830, these three days celebrate the greatness of Burgundy wines every third weekend in November. The event was created in a context of economic crisis to boost the reputation and sales of Burgundy wines after the 1929 crash.
The Confrérie Chapter at Clos de Vougeot
On Saturday evening, the festivities begin with the Chapter of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin at the Château du Clos de Vougeot. This gala dinner, held in evening attire, brings together several hundred guests in the historic castle grounds. The induction of new knights, Burgundian songs, and speeches punctuate this festive and solemn evening, accompanied by the finest vintages from the Côte de Nuits.
The Hospices de Beaune Wine Sale
On Sunday, the central event of the Trois Glorieuses takes place under the Halles de Beaune: the famous Hospices de Beaune Wine Sale. This charity auction, whose first public edition dates back to 1859, sells wines from the Hospices de Beaune estate, accumulated from donations since the founding of the Hospices by Nicolas Rolin in 1443. Organized by Sotheby's since 2021, this sale attracts buyers from all over the world and serves as a benchmark for Burgundy wine prices.
The Paulée de Meursault
On Monday, the Trois Glorieuses conclude with the Paulée de Meursault, a traditional winegrowers' banquet where each guest brings their best bottles to share. This convivial meal, inherited from winegrowing traditions, is an opportunity to taste exceptional wines in a festive and good-natured atmosphere, marking the end of an exceptional weekend.
