Choose Your Place in Burgundy’s Legacy
For nearly six centuries, each barrel sold at the Hospices de Beaune auction has represented more than wine; it has symbolized generosity, craftsmanship, and connection. Now, for the first time, Domaine Serene invites you to join this living tradition. Whether through a single share or an entire barrel, you’ll hold a piece of Burgundy’s history and become part of the story that continues to shape it.
Négociant Share
(Collaborative allocation, ~10 bottles, $1,900)
For those wishing to experience Burgundy’s most storied auction through a shared opportunity, the Négociant Share offers a cooperative path into the Hospices de Beaune tradition. Participants will be thoughtfully paired with other members to collectively represent at least one-quarter barrel (approximately 60 bottles) acquired at auction.
Your deposit reserves your place in this collaborative group. Once the full allocation is confirmed, you’ll be included in the purchase and receive your case from the group’s shared barrel. If a suitable pairing cannot be made this year, your deposit will be returned in full.
This tier provides an accessible and engaging way to take part in the centuries-old story of generosity and craftsmanship that defines the Hospices de Beaune.

• Welcome letter signed by Winemaker Pablo Bosch-Alvarez

Joining The HospicesdeBeaune Barrel Share Program
Participation begins with a deposit equal to half of the estimated share value, which secures your place within this year’s Hospices de Beaune auction. Once the final barrel has been successfully acquired, the remaining balance will be adjusted not only to reflect the hammer price achieved at auction, but also to include every stage of the artisanal process that follows.
This final payment encompasses every stage of your wine’s journey, including bottling, and cellar aging under the care of our French winemaking team at Château de la Crée. It also includes preparation for international transport, customs coordination, and shipment of your finished wine to the United States, ensuring a seamless experience from the auction to your cellar
While the final total may be less than the estimated share price, it will never exceed the listed amount. This structure allows us to extend both transparency and value, while preserving the exceptional quality and provenance that define the Domaine Serene and Hospices de Beaune partnership.
