Decanter Record results for Hospices de Nuits 2021 auction
The 60th Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges wine auction surpassed estimates and set several new records when it took place yesterday, Sunday 14th March 2021.
The Hospices de Nuits 2021 sale took place yesterday afternoon in the historical Château du Clos de Vougeot, marking its 60th anniversary.
It has been described by organisers as ‘an absolute record year’ bringing in €1,923,000 (£1,652,017 / $2,294,434) from total sales, an increase of more than 19% in comparison to 2020’s auction, despite having nine fewer barrels to sell due to lower yields.
Despite the world’s current precarious situation, buyers were aplenty with bidder registrations up by more than 20% from last year, which was already a 50% increase from 2019.
