The vineyard is situated on the outskirts of the town of Saint-Émilion, in the region of the same name (Bordeaux). It dates back to the early 19th century. In 1971, it was acquired, together with Château Canon-La-Gaffelière, by Josef Hubert Graf von Neipperg (1918–2020). Today, the estate belongs to the Vignobles Comtes von Neipperg group. Under Stephan Graf von Neipperg, La Mondotte developed into one of the most renowned estates in Saint-Émilion. Until the 1995 vintage, the wine was vinified at Château Canon-La-Gaffelière. Following extensive investment in the vineyards and winery, it has been marketed independently as ‘La Mondotte’ since the 1996 vintage.

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
