Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction
In 1443, the most powerful non-noble man in Europe built a palace for the dying — art historians say out of guilty conscience. He commissioned Rogier van der Weyden to paint a Last Judgement so the patients could see it from their beds. Comfort and warning, simultaneously, for 519 years. Every November since 1859, the charity he created auctions wine by candlelight — winner is the last bidder before the flame dies. In 2025, one barrel of Pommard sold for €400,000. That single hammer price in a covered market in Beaune echoes through wine price lists worldwide. The building ran as a hospital until 1971. The roof tiles, fired three times each, last 300 years.
