Chapter I: Creation Of The Vineyard

Beginning Of The Story

The adventure began in the early twentieth century. The vineyard was acquired by family Duporge in 1910. The domain, then called "Jalousy", was bought by Pierre Auguste Duporge and his son Fernand Duporge from Mrs. Guiard and Mrs. Herissé. The 20-hectare vineyard was though very fragmented.

"Le remembrement"

At this time, Pierre Auguste and Fernand were wine growers and barrel makers. They have reconsolidated the vineyard over a lifetime: they merged all the scattered fragments of land into one unified property. In 1930, the vineyard was mainly white wine, extended over approximately 35 hectares and produced around 1,800 hectolitres a year. Joined by Fernand's son, Henri Duporge, in 1934, Jalousy gradually flourished.

Chapter II: Growth Of The Vineyard

Scaling The Domain

In 1962, Henri's son, Pierre Duporge joined the company. Two years later, his sister Marie-Hélène Duporge joined it too. In 1968, they expanded the vineyard in places around David and Beaulieu. In 1970, they founded an Agricultural Land Grouping (in French "Groupement Foncier Agricole", GFA). In 1992, the domain Jalousy became "Jalousie Beaulieu" and the holding "Société Civile d'Exploitation Agricole" was born.

Modernisation

In 1999, Philippe Person, Marie-Hélène Duporge's son, took over the ownership of the 93-hectare vineyard. In 2001, he signed a leasing contract with two wine holdings "Château Pascaud" and "Château de Marze", which included 26 hectares of planted vineyards. Between 2004 and 2016, Philippe Person further expanded the domain. In 2016, the total farming area of the holding "SCEA des Vignobles Jalousie Beaulieu" reached 160 hectares. His son, Pierre Person, joined the enterprise in 2016 to support the marketing strategy of the company. Pierre is the sixth generation of this family-run business.

The 6th Generation

Chapter III: Pierre Person, The 6th Generation

Pierre Person graduated from INSEEC Bordeaux Business School in Wine Trade and Management. He joined the family-un winery in 2020. From an early age, Pierre learned the wine growing and wine making skills thanks to his father. He also realised how sales and marketing were so important for the the future development of the business.

With AOC Conseils support from 2020 to 2022 in sales and marketing, Pierre radically changed the family-run winery.

Philippe Person and his son Pierre Person continue to grow the business while facing new challenges related to sustainability, quality and sales. They are both extremely proud to carry on the family legacy.

Chapter IV: Alex Person, Brothers In Arms

Alex Person joined the family business in 2025. Engineer, he graduated from ESSEC Business School. He started his career in consultancy and sales. He has had a number of international experiences in Germany, Singapore, the United States, India and Switzerland.

At the winery, he joined the sales team with his brother Pierre to accelerate sales in Europe and overseas. He is also interested in digital marketing, DTC (Direct To Consumer) and the ecological challenges facing the wine industry.

As a very optimistic person, Alex helps to shape a positive and ambitious vision of the company and the Bordeaux wine industry. The two brothers are now reunited to help Château Jalousie Beaulieu wines shine throughout the world and mark the sixth generation.
