Winemaker Henry Beaufort
The Beauforts have been making wine in Champagne since the 16th Century. In the early 1900s, Marcellin Beaufort became famous for his Bouzy still wines, and in 1929 he and his son, Herbert began to bottle Champagne wines. Today, Herbert's son Henri and grandsons Hugues and Ludovic, continue this tradition. The family owns 13 hectares; 10 Ha of Pinot Noir and 3 Ha of Chardonnay, mainly in Grand Cru Bouzy, but also in Grand Cru Ambonnay and some 1er cru vineyards. In the wine-making, malo-lactic fermentation is blocked and dosage is kept to a minimum, being close to Extra Brut. All the wines produced are from their own grapes and the average age of all their vines is 45 years with the oldest being 95 years.
Brut Reserve: (NV CH, PN)

In 1976 the firm was purchased by Henriot only to be sold again in 1985 to Rémy Martin.

Thibault also oversaw the creation of the Blanc de Millénaires, the prestige cuvée that replaced Champagne Charlie.

(vinification) : terme champenois qui désigne un vin issu des dernières presses et qui ne participe pas à l’élaboration de cuvées destinées à la champagnisation. Ainsi, le pressoir champenois traditionnel reçoit 4000 kg de raisins. La première presse, appelée cuvée, permet d’obtenir 2050 l de moût ; les deux serrages suivants, 450 l. Un dernier serrage donne la rebèche, exclue de la vinification champenoise et destinée à la distillation.
