2025 Charity Auction: Prestigious wines supporting future talent

The BSB Foundation is hosting its 3^rdexclusive charity auction, featuring prestigious bottles donated by renowned wine estates.

Thanks to the steadfast commitment of Dr Wine Selection, represented on the BSB Foundation’s Board of Directors by co-founder Antoine Prudent, every bottle reflects the generosity of those who share them.

‍

Past successes

‍

Previous editions have been a resounding success:

‍

2023 : 11 bottles, 39 magnums, and 7 jeroboams across 50 lots, featuring appellations highly sought after by connoisseurs of great French terroirs (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – Richebourg 2016, Domaine Dujac – Clos de la Roche 1999, Petrus 2011, etc.)

‍

2024 : 33 lots of prestigious wines, including Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Richebourg, Meursault Clos des Bouchères, Côte-Rôtie Belle Hélène, Saint-Joseph Tildé, and Billecart-Salmon’s Champagne Brut Rosé Elisabeth Salmon, were auctioned thanks to the support of our patrons and their networks.

‍

These first two editions raised nearly €60,000, providing tangible support for students at the School of Wine & Spirits Business. Funds raised through the BSB Foundation’s Wine & Spirits Patronage Club primarily finance scholarships and contribute to the development of the industry.

2025 Goal: Exceed €75,000

‍

For the 2025 edition, our goal is even more ambitious: to raise €75,000 to provide future wine and spirits professionals with the best training opportunities.

Skills-based sponsorship for the auction

‍

For the past three years, this auction would not have reached the same scale without skills-based sponsorship.

‍

Experts from Dr Wine Selection and iDealWine, joined this year by Enzo Molinaro, founder of La Goutte d’Or and a recent graduate of the BSB Bachelor’s program, generously contributed their expertise to the event: sourcing estates, collecting lots, and managing the online auction.

Thanks to this commitment, industry expertise is being put directly to work for student education.
