Funded by the sale of two supermarket chains, Parisian mega-millionaire and former pro cyclist, Gerard Perse, entered the wine biz by buying Chateau Monbousquet in 1993 (sold 2013), Pavie-Decesse in 1997 and big brother heavy-hitter Chateau Pavie in 1998, bringing in consultant Michel Rolland to cut the yields and add his magic a few years later. The wines are lush and intense.
