The famous wine auction in Burgundy brought in a total of €12.6 million this year, roughly double pre-sale estimates.

The Hospices de Beaune auction is the oldest charity wine auction in the world. Merchants and wine lovers bid for whole barrels of wine, including the so-called Pièce des Présidents, whose sale proceeds are dedicated to a different charity each year.
