Prieure-Roch Nuits St. Georges Clos des Corvees 1er cru - 2005(750ml)

Often forgotten, the charitable wine-auction of the Hospices de Nuits is a compact and bijou version of the magnificent sale that takes place each year on the third Sunday of November in Beaune. Taking place on the last Sunday before Easter, and heralded by the Nuits St.Georges half-marathon, rarely are there television cameras or famous (in France) actors in attendance, and neither do Christies beam and syndicate the auction bids around the globe, but here is a charity no less noble and no less worthy of your support: the Hospices de Nuits still cares for the sick and elderly of the town and help provide guide-dogs for the blind – their recent wines have been excellent too!
