Description
The BEAUMONT family’s wine growing activity stretches back seven generations. In 1991, Thierry took over the family domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis, creating the “Domaine des BEAUMONT” name, exclusive to the family. They originally sold their entire harvest to négociants. Thierry only switched to selling wine in bottles in 1999, making a significant investment in facilities and professional equipment enabling the domaine to produce very fine, expressive, deep and powerful red wines. The vineyards, cover nearly 6 hectares and include (besides the Pinot Noir of course) a rare white Morey-Saint-Denis (Chardonnay) since 2004. Managed according to sustainable viticulture principles, they extend over the communes of Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny and include superb Grand Cru parcels (Charmes-Chambertin and Mazoyères Chambertin since 2014) and Premier Cru parcels (Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Combottes’, the only Burgundy Premier Cru totally surrounded by 3 Grands Crus). Thierry is devoted to his craft and is a prominent figure in the Côte de Nuits.
