The winery is located in the town of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). It was bought by Jean Moueix (1882-1957) in 1930, marking the beginning of the steep rise of this family empire. By inheritance, it passed to son Jean-Antoine Moueix (1908-1979) in 1957 and, after his death, to grandson Jean-Jacques Moueix (*1935). Since 2001, it has been run by the fourth generation, the great-grandson Alain Moueix. It is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, which was last confirmed in 2012. The vineyards cover 20 hectares of vines with Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Franc (30%). Biodynamic viticulture has been practised since 2001. The long-lasting red wine matures for 18 months in barriques, 40% of which are new. The second wine is called "Château Cartier".
