A Bit of History
Since 1820
Founded in 1820, Albert Morot was originally one of the largest trading houses in Burgundy.
Beaune played a central role in the trade of Burgundian wines in Europe, benefiting from its proximity to trade routes and key markets.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, specialized trading houses flourished, focusing on the purchase, aging, and sale of wines.
In 1880, Berthe Morot purchased the Creusotte park and built the castle and cellars where the estate is still located today.
Subsequent generations ceased trading activities and refocused on the estate’s own vineyards.
In 2000, Geoffroy Choppin de Janvry, Albert Morot’s great-great-nephew, committed the estate to sustainable farming. 2015 was the first vintage certified in organic farming.
The Beaune Appellation
Since 1936
Created in 1936, the Beaune appellation covers 420 hectares and includes 42 premier crus.
Red wines, primarily made from Pinot Noir, dominate production (85%), while white wines (15%) are made from Chardonnay.
The climats of Beaune, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, are characterized by distinct parcels resulting from a unique combination of soils and microclimates, offering exceptional diversity and quality.
The vineyards benefit from varied exposures, with slopes surrounding the town and altitudes ranging from 220 to 300 meters.
With its 7 hectares of premier crus, Albert Morot is a key estate in the Beaune appellation: Les Teurons, Les Bressandes, Les Marconnets, Les Grèves, Les Toussaints, Les Aigrots (red and white), Le Dessus des Marconnets.
A New Momentum
Since 2023
A new chapter begins. The family group of Guillaume and Sophie Poitrinal has acquired this historic estate, founded in 1820.
The new owners have enlisted Pierre-Jean Villa to take charge of the estate and provide new impetus, continuing the work carried out over several generations.
Pierre-Jean aims to produce vibrant, elegant wines from this mosaic of parcels, catering to “gourmet enthusiasts” around the world.
