Hermitage launches charity wine auction

The lots available to bid on have been donated by Hermitage winemakers with special vintages in mind, offering something truly unique for UK wine lovers. 

The Centre Médical de La Teppe in France and The Epilepsy Society in the UK are the two charities which have been chosen for charity wine auction, with all proceeds from the auction to be donated equally between the two.

Hermitage will also be bringing its wines to London in person and hosting their ‘Legendary Hermitage’ event at the Four Seasons Hotel, London, at Ten Trinity Square on Monday 20 June. 

The event will be hosted by several of the Hermitage winemakers themselves and will welcome the UK wine trade and press, with a tasting of prestigious cuvées available on the UK market and a gastronomic dinner curated by award-winning chef, Anne-Sophie Pic. A Rhône Valley native herself, having grown up in the region and continuing to run the Maison Pic establishment in Rhone’s Valence as well as award-winning restaurants across the globe, Pic is the most decorated female chef in the world, with eight Michelin stars to her name. 

Michel Chapoutier, president of the Hermitage appellation, said: “Our Legendary Hermitage event is an opportunity to share our wines with the UK wine trade, and along with our online charity wine auction, we are also helping out some charities which are important to our winemakers. We can’t wait to meet everyone and allow them to taste some exciting wines, some of which they won’t have tasted before.”
