We’ve always had a deep appreciation for the wines crafted by Jean-Marie Bouldy. He’s one of those rare winemakers with a natural gift—like a gardener with a green thumb. Everything he touches seems to flourish effortlessly, while others, even following the same steps, struggle to achieve the same result.

At Château Bellegrave, he brings to life wines of remarkable depth and harmony. Sourced from some of Pomerol’s finest terroirs and vinified with unwavering precision, his wines remain quietly under the radar—untouched by media hype or soaring prices.
