History

Thierry BEAUMONT, as successor of his parents and after more than 4 generations of winemakers. The wine has been first sold in barrels to wine merchants from 1991 to 1998. Starting 1999, 80% of the wine is bottled at the vineyard and sold by the BEAUMONT family, of which 80% are export sales worldwide. Before this was possible, heavy investments were necessary to achieve the desired quality wine level :

• 1991 to 1998 : sale entirely with a trader of Nuits-Saint-Georges
• 1996 : Construction of a modern and big cellar and winery
• 1997 : Purchasing of a temperature regulation device and new oak barrels
• 1999 : Marketing in bottles for 80% of harvest
• 2001 : purchasing of a grape sorting table and a Willmes pneumatic press, isolation/climatisation and equipment improvements of the winery and the shipping area - founding of the trade company « SARL GRANDS VINS DE BOURGOGNE THIERRY BEAUMONT » in order to be able to sell the wines of the Domaine worldwide (French rules)
• 2003 : 100% of the wines is sold in bottles.
  Four new wines complete the range of the Domaine :
  • MOREY SAINT DENIS BLANC
  • CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY
  • CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY 1ER CRU "les chabiots"
  • MOREY SAINT DENIS 1ER CRU "les sorbés"
