Mr. and Mrs. Gerbeault opened their first wine cellar, Au Vieux Pressoir, in Meursault, which was at first a family enterprise.

The wine cellar celebrated its 10th birthday and became a limited company owned by seven shareholders including the children, Jérôme et Arnaud Gerbeault. The company then adopted the name « Les Caves du Vieux Pressoir ».
The company handled the sale of table wines and « appellation d’origine contrôlée » wines (wines with guaranteed place of origin), both bulk and in bottles, mainly to individuals and company works councils.

An additional branch was opened in Montceau-les-mines (4 rue de Tournus), managed by Mrs. Aubert. |
A new wine cellar was opened in Saint-Quentin, in the Aisnes département. The management of this wine cellar was taken over by Mrs. Béatrice Bourillon.
