Champagne house Louis Roederer has bought the Burgundy producer Domaine Pierre Damoy, marking its first acquisition in the region.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Louis Roederer confirmed it was in “exclusive” talks to buy the group in April.
The purchase brings the Gevrey-Chambertin domaine into Roederer Collection, the group of wineries and activities owned by the family-controlled Louis Roederer Champagne house.
In a statement, the Louis Roederer group said Domaine Pierre Damoy’s vineyard holdings include almost eight hectares of Grand Cru vines, mainly in Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze and Chapelle Chambertin, as well as Clos Tamisot, a monopole in Gevrey-Chambertin.
The group said the Pierre Damoy estate is also noted for having “high proportion of old vines and exceptional genetic diversity”.
Louis Roederer's portfolio already stretches from Champagne, Bordeaux and Provence to Portugal and California.
The estates sitting under the Roederer Collection umbrella include Château Pichon Lalande in Bordeaux, Ramos Pinto in Portugal, and California wineries Diamond Creek and Merry Edwards.
Frédéric Rouzaud, the CEO at Louis Roederer, said: "In the year Louis Roederer celebrates its 250th anniversary, establishing a presence in Burgundy, one of the world's most prestigious wine regions, and becoming the steward of one of its great estates carries a special meaning for us.
“Domaine Pierre Damoy led us to take this step because it embodies everything we value most: exceptional terroirs, a remarkable vine heritage, a strong identity and a history that ranks among Burgundy’s most iconic.”
Rouzaud added that the company's role would be to support the estate “with humility and exacting standards”, while building on the work of the Damoy family.
The origins of the current Domaine Pierre Damoy estate date back to the early 20th century when Julien Damoy bought vineyards in the wake of the Phylloxera crisis that wiped out more than half of France’s vineyards.
The estate owns about 10% of Gevrey-Chambertin’s Grand Cru vineyards.
Findings from the Burgundy wine board Vins de Bourgogne released earlier this year, showed the region's export volumes rose 3.7% in 2025, though export value declined 1.8% versus 2024.
The region's share of French wine exports also rose 0.8% last year to 12.5%, the association said.
In 2025, the top market for Burgundy wines by volume was the US, though they still declined 7.9% in the year to 19.3 million bottles. Meanwhile, the UK, Canada, Belgium and Sweden all saw volumes of Burgundy wines grow in the period.
Export value also declined in the year in the UK to €228.8m in 2025 compared with €251.7 the year prior. Vins de Bourgogne said this showed "increased pressure on prices and consumer trade-offs in a British economic environment that
remains unstable".
