Auction in Beaune: drought has cut Burgundy's harvest, and only 432 barrels are up for sale
Climate anomalies have hit the famous Hospices de Beaune wine auction: after six months of almost drought-like weather, the estate's harvest has halved, while Burgundy's overall harvest is 26% below the five-year average. 432 barrels have been put up for auction — a figure close to the historic low of 2021. At the same time, buyers remain active, and the record average price per barrel may fall.
