Honest Grapes Wine Club offers members the opportunity to form crowdsourced syndicates which will purchase barrels of Burgundy at the Hospices de Beaune charity auction to be elaborated and bottled by a famous local winemaker. These are unique wines, with only a few hundred bottles produced, as masterpieces of Burgundian art. We have formed similar syndicates for every vintage since 2019 at the Hospices de Beaune and vintages 2020 through to 2023 at the Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges (the 2024 & 2025 vintages produced too few barrels). 2026 HOSPICES DE BEAUNE WHITE £1,560 PER 12X75CL SHARE Each share includes 9 litres equivalent (12x75cl) in your choice of preferred formats, including Magnums & Jeroboams at a premium, with a special label for Syndicate Members Personalisation available from a ¼ barrel (72x75cl equivalent) An 80% deposit (£1,248) secures your place in the Syndicate ahead of the Hospices auction, with the remaining balance adjusted once the final price is confirmed. Wines from the 2026 vintage will be purchased at the auction on 15th November 2025 and will be ready for delivery in Q1 of 2029. The auction price paid is somewhat uncertain, and whilst there are more barrels expected to be available for purchase this year, interest in Burgundy in general and the Hospices auction in particular remain at very high levels, hence we expect prices to remain buoyant. Charles Ballot of Ballot-Millot We could not be in safer hands. Charles is widely regarded as one of Meursault’s leading names. Burghound’s Allen Meadows calls him “ remarkably talented… his whites are knock-out good ”, while Neal Martin adds: “ I expected good things. I was not disappointed .” This is his second Hospices vintage in a row with us. We will organise events with Tom Harrow, Nathan Hill and Charles in London and Burgundy during the maturation period of the wine so that syndicate members can enjoy the fun of seeing the wine develop.
