Unique auction from BIVB

France

After updating all the appellation signs (plates) in its vineyards, the Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB) wants to give the old signs a second life. On November 12, almost 600 signs, divided into 300 lots, will be auctioned on drouot.com and interencheres.com. The event will be broadcast live from Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne, which is a nominee and winner of the public vote of the Wine Travel Awards 2023-2024 in Education in Enotourism/Cultural Mission and also won the Jury’s Choice award.

Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne

This year, the BIVB presents an innovative project with an exclusive auction that will present 600 signs of the appellations that have graced the vineyards for 20 years (Grand Auxerrois, Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais, etc.).

On November 12, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., wine professionals and all Burgundy wine lovers can become owners of signs that will later decorate their garden, home or office. Auctions are open to everyone. The auction will be conducted by Jérôme Duvillard and Alexandra Chaillou-Weidmann. You can follow the auction online at drouot.com and interencheres.com, and the event will be broadcast live from the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne in Beaune. The lots are available to view online from July 25 at quaidesencheres.fr, drouot.com and interencheres.com.

Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne

Proceeds from the auction will be sent to the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne to support the development of its cultural activities: the creation of new exhibitions and conferences dedicated to the cultural, artistic and historical heritage of Burgundy.
