Former property of the Baroness Arthur de Brezets, and acquired in 1924 by the Escure family, the ChâteauGrand-Pey-Lescours is located in St Sulpice de Faleyrens, at the foot of the slopes of Saint-Emilion.
The Escures also own Chateau Bellisle Mondotte in the same wine district.
The consultancy of Jean-Marie Bouldy, owner of Ch. Bellegrave in Pomerol and the new generations of the Escure family brought new ideas to valorise Grand Pey Lescours.
Jean-Marie Bouldy is a skilled wine expert and took over the management of the family estate Bellegrave in1980 and was joined by his wife Pascale in 1995. Their children also began working at the estate (Aurélie in 2014 and Jean-Baptiste in 2015), continuing Château Bellegrave’s true family orientation.
Jean Marie Bouldy is one of the few growers with a soft spot for the environment in Pomerol and hestarted an unofficial conversion to organic practices from 2001 onwards. Château Bellegrave officially converted to organic agriculture with its ECOCERT certification in 2009.
With Jean Marie arrival at Chateau Gran Pey Lescours, all the vineyard started to be trained according toorganic techniques and the estate wines are fully organic certified since the 2014 vintage. It’s undeniable that Jean Marie consultancy has completely boosted the vineyards potentiality.
Grand Pey Lescours’ vineyards are planted with grape varieties typical of St Emilion – 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon – on gravelly and sandy soils and cover nearly 26 hectares.
The soils are gravelly and sandy with a sub-soil showing traces of iron hardpan.
The estate is arguably the definition of quality and value in Saint-Emilion – if not Bordeaux itself.Certainly worth the wait. Rather than releasing wines in their infancy, Jean-Marie Bouldy likes to keep stock back until he feels it’s ready to be drunk.
