The French family empire is one of the most important companies in the Bordeaux wine trade. Jean Moueix (1882-1957), a native of Corrèze in central France, acquired the Château Fonroque vineyard in Saint-Émilion in 1930 and his son Jean-Pierre (1913-2003) founded a wine trading company in Libourne in 1937.

Overall responsibility lies with the Moueix family. Operational management is carried out by Christian Moueix (President) and Jean-François Moueix (Chairman). Three sister companies are responsible for trading activities. What all three have in common is purchasing directly from the château, marketing both "en primeur"(subscription) and from matured stocks, as well as storage in their own cellars in Libourne with full traceability.

The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
