About the producer:
Founded at the end of the 19th century by Samuel Beau. After his death in 1914, his son Paul continued the company, together with his wife Denise. He expanded the vineyard and modernized the company. Until 1977 they sold their cognacs, which they had matured for several years, to the cognac houses, mainly Rémy Martin, but from that year onwards the cognac houses only wanted to buy young eau-de-vie. This posed a problem because of the large stocks of old cognacs. That is why from that year on they started selling cognac under their own label, in addition to delivering it to homes.
After the death of Paul Beau, the company was continued by the brothers Michel and Guy Laurichesse (father of Olivier Laurichesse) and the rest of the family was also active there. Michel is married to Collette, one of Paul's adopted daughters. Guy has now stopped and his son Olivier has partly taken over from him. Olivier worked for Paul Beau for 12 years and started his own company in 2015: Laurichesse. In 2023, Olivier and his wife Léa took over the Paul Beau brand again. 
At one point in history they had a total of +/- 100 hectares of vineyards in the Grande Champagne. They also used to have a vineyard in the Borderies, but that was sold in 1964.
