Nuiton-Beaunoy

What Nuiton-Beaunoy does

Nuiton-Beaunoy is a Société Coopérative Agricole (cooperative winery) headquartered in Beaune, France, and the only cooperative wine cellar in the Côte d'Or department. Founded in 1957 in the village of Orches under the name Cave du Rosé d'Orches, it was renamed Cave des Hautes-Côtes in 1964 and rebranded as Nuiton-Beaunoy at its Beaune site in 2010. The cooperative is owned by 80 winegrower members (adhérents) who cultivate approximately 350 hectares of vineyard across 1,472 parcels spanning the Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, and Hautes-Côtes de Beaune/Nuits appellations, producing roughly 22,000 hectolitres (about 3 million bottles) per year.

The cooperative's core activity is vinification, aging, and distribution of Burgundy wines across the full appellation hierarchy — from Bourgogne Régionale through Villages, Premiers Crus, and Grands Crus (including Corton and Clos de la Roche), plus Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling wines under the Victorine de Chastenay sub-brand and an organic-conversion range called Cerço (launched March 2022) with 100% eco-designed packaging. Production technology combines thermoregulated stainless steel vinification with French oak barrel aging for reds, and traditional method Crémant production. The cooperative holds Vignerons Engagés RSE certification (2020) addressing environmental, social and territorial sustainability.

Nuiton-Beaunoy monetises through three primary channels: direct-to-consumer sales via the Beaune caveau (tasting room at 97 Route de Pommard) and online shop at offres.vignerons-associes.com; B2B sales to HORECA, cavistes, and wine merchants — supported by 30+ caviste tasting events and 6+ trade salons per year; and export distribution representing 29% of total production. The cooperative also operates a wine tourism vertical offering tastings, seminars (capacity 35), vineyard picnics, harvest celebrations, and electric scooter tours (Trott'Électrique, launched 2025 in partnership with Trott'Explore). Last disclosed turnover was €12 million (2017); no parent company or external capital is involved, with governance led by Président Florent Baillard.
