The winery is located in Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). The origins of the former Château Belair date back to the 15th century with an owner Robert de Knolles (Knollys, later Canolles). It remained in the possession of this family until the French Revolution in 1789, who returned after fleeing and took control again in 1802. From the mid-1870s, there was a serious crisis caused by phylloxera and both types of mildew.

Change of ownership

In 1916, the estate was taken over by Edouard Dubois-Challon (+1921) from the neighbouring Château Ausone. His widow engaged Pascal Delbeck and bequeathed the estate to him (2003). The latter sold a 31% stake to the Moueix trading house in 2007, which also acquired the remaining 69% a year later. Extensive investments were made in the wine cellar and, from the 2008 vintage onwards, the name was changed to the current name (Anna-Adèle Monange was Jean-Pierre Moueix's mother). Château Magdelaine was integrated in 2012.
