André Beaufort
アンドレ・ボーフォール
Organic Champagne pioneer with vines in Ambonnay and Polisy
About André Beaufort
André Beaufort is a Champagne estate whose vines are split between Ambonnay (Grand Cru, Montagne de Reims) and Polisy in the Aube (Côte des Bar). It is known as an early organic pioneer in Champagne, and its own website describes organic viticulture with essential oils and homeopathy used in place of synthetic treatments. Pinot Noir is the main variety, alongside Chardonnay, and the wines are disgorged by hand à la volée. The registered company ANDRE BEAUFORT (SARL, SIREN 498250430) has its registered office in Polisy; it is a separate legal entity from the catalog's Jacques Beaufort (SAS JACQUES BEAUFORT, SIREN 844519538, Ambonnay), though sources describe the two labels as related.
