Cleared in 1772, the estate became the property of Henri Labarthe, who cleaned it up and prepared it for growing vines. The Beaumont vineyard was born in 1824 with its new owner, Mr. Bonnin.

From 1830 to 1847, the Maison de Beaumont belonged to the Marquis d’Aligre, one of the richest men in France, who tripled the vineyard’s surface area. In 1849, the estate passed into the hands of the Bonnin brothers, who in 1854 had Château Beaumont built in the Renaissance style known as Mansart.

In 1860, the Count of Gennes, great-uncle of Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, Nobel Prize winner in Physics in 1991, acquired the property, which he sold in 1872 to Jean-Victor Herran, Minister of Honduras. The Parisian industrialist Joseph Germain succeeded him in 1890. Through his devotion, he succeeded the wines of Château Beaumont to the top rank of Crus Bourgeois du Médoc . He is responsible for the construction of the vat room in 1894.

From 1925 to 1986, the estate was run by the Milanese company Della Grazia et Cie, the lieutenant-colonel of Caracas Ignacio Andrade, the former senator of Venezuela Dionisio Ramon Bolivar Carvajal and then the winegrower Bernard Soulas who completely reconstituted the vineyard and restored the château.

In 1986, Château Beaumont began its 12th life with the arrival of the GMF group, which joined forces with the Japanese Suntory group to create the Société Grands Millésimes de France, also owner of Château Beychevelle and the Bordeaux trading company Barrière Frères.

Today, the capital of Grands Millésimes de France is held by the Suntory and Castel Groups.
