In 1848, Symphorien Dufouleur founded the wine brokerage "Dufouleur Père & Fils." By the end of the 19th century, he handed over the business to his eldest son, Alexis, who expanded its commercial reach and began exporting wines to around ten countries. Symphorien also boosted the house's prestige by acquiring more vineyards, including a plot in Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.
