The history of Chateau David de Beaufort is intimately linked to the history of Burgundy, to the wines of Burgundy and to the Hospices de Beaune. The 17th century estate was owned by the Hotel Dieu des Hospices de Beaune from 1750 to 1792. It was purchased during the Second World war by Dr. Denis Bizot who ran a domain of Burgundy Grands Crus and was surgeon at the Hospices de Beaune. In 1984, the estate was converted into a wine-making property by Jacques and Jacqueline Coudray-Bizot.

Today, Jean-Jacques Coudray, a physicist-winemaker manages the 20 acre holding, which stretches from the villages of Gevrey-Chambertin and Puligny-Montrachet and is made up primarily of old vines.
