1941 : André Boisseaux takes over Patriarche Père et Fils, one of the oldest wine houses in Beaune (founded in 1780). Buoyed by intrepidity and passion for his profession, he would gradually develop his brand policy to offer modern wines combining accessibility and quality to a wider public.

1955 : It's his cousin, Georges Kritter, who would give it its name: Kriter is born...

1970 : Brut, Demi-Sec...The brand continues to develop, and by the end of the 1960s is also available in smaller formats: the 20 cl bottle is ideal for more spontaneous, less formal get-togethers.

1981 : Between 1973 and 1986, Kriter invests in sports sponsorship and more specifically, yachts. The brand criss-crosses the seas and sails around the globe: 14 boats would proudly bear the Kriter colours.

1980 : The brand is so successful, a new production site is built in Beaune, in Côte d'Or.

2005 : A new, third variety is added to the range: Kriter Rosé, an elegant, fruity, sparkling wine that delights lady customers looking for refinement and originality.

2008 : New packaging for a brand that is more with the times than ever.

2009 : The Kriter ‘Bulles de Fruits' range includes the popular Blackcurrant, Peach, and Mango flavours, and now comes in 750 ml bottles.
