Bruno Rouy

Coming Up

Bruno Rouy began his career in 2004 at Château Escot in Saint-Trélody, Médoc, France, where he served as maître de chais. The role placed him in the cellar, where vinification and maturation depend on close attention and restraint. He later became director and manager of the winery at Château Escot in Saint-Trélody, Médoc, France, a position he held from 2004–2020. Across those years, the work remained centered on Cru Bourgeois wines from the Médoc, and his own stated cellar aim describes the approach plainly: “I therefore started working as cellar master, trying year after year to keep all the qualities of Escot wine as a Cru Bourgeois du Médoc while bringing it finesse and elegance.” That statement points to a career built on continuity rather than interruption: year after year, vintage after vintage, with attention to detail. His training in Burgundy and South Africa forms part of that background, grounding his sensibility in experience shaped by two distinct winemaking worlds.

Where They Are Now

No current role is listed after his 2004–2020 tenure as director and manager of the winery. The record therefore leaves his later professional path unmarked, with his most visible contribution remaining the long chapter he wrote at Château Escot in Saint-Trélody, Médoc, France.

Signature

Bruno's signature wines include Parfum d'Escot and Château Escot 2010. Both sit within a cellar practice focused on finesse and elegance, and on maintaining the qualities associated with Escot’s Cru Bourgeois du Médoc identity.

In Their Words “I therefore started working as cellar master, trying year after year to keep all the qualities of Escot wine as a Cru Bourgeois du Médoc while bringing it finesse and elegance.”
