THE TEAM
Melissa Bouygues
Chairwoman
A native of Bâton Rouge in Louisiana and the wife of Martin Bouygues, Melissa Bouygues has a keen interest in 18th century architecture. She was deeply involved in the renovation of Montrose, especially the choices that determined the disposition of the reception areas.
Charlotte Bouygues
President
As an ambassador for the estate, she regularly takes part, alongside Pierre Graffeuille, in presenting Montrose wines at international events.
The daughter of Martin Bouygues, Charlotte graduated from Babson College with a concentration in Strategic Management.
She began her career in 2013 at L’Oréal as a Marketing Product Manager before joining the TF1 Group from 2016 to 2022. First working in the commercial department and then in programming, she later joined the e-commerce division within TF1’s digital unit, where she spent three years.
Pierre Graffeuille
CEO
A graduate of Bordeaux Sciences Agro and the Faculty of Oenology of Bordeaux, Pierre Graffeuille built his career within the major Bordeaux brokerage and trading houses (Les Grands Crus, Maison Beyerman) before joining the management of Delon vineyards (Château Léoville Las Cases, Château Nénin and Château Potensac). He succeeded Hervé Berland in October 2022 to work on the development of Château Montrose and all the family’s properties.
One of the many riches of Montrose is its people, comprising professionals who bring strong personalities and complementary expertise to serve the terroir.
Combining local knowledge and academic expertise, Montrose’s management team headed by Pierre Graffeuille draws on a wealth of experience in many different fields. Under his responsibility, 68 people share the same uncompromising insistence on quality and the pursuit of excellence.
