Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix has championed quality and the expression of terroir in all of the wines that we produce and represent.

Jean-Pierre Moueix

When our founder, Jean-Pierre Moueix, launched his wine merchant business in 1937, he sought above all to offer eminently drinkable and enjoyable wines that reflect a sense of place. The Jean-Pierre Moueix range of wines was inspired by this early mission: sourcing the finest fruit grown by local farmers to produce wines that are balanced, elegant and reflect the distinctive terroirs of this renowned region.

Starting in the 1950s, Jean-Pierre Moueix consolidated his wine merchant activity with the acquisition of several well-known châteaux, such as La Fleur-Pétrus, Trotanoy, Pétrus in Pomerol and Magdelaine in Saint-Emilion.

He passed away in 2003 at the age of 90, remembered as a man of great culture, generosity and wisdom.

Christian Moueix

Christian Moueix joined the family company in 1970 after studying agronomical engineering in Paris and viticulture in California. He took over management of the family estates and immediately focused on improving quality in the vineyards and in the cellars.

Throughout his career, Christian Moueix has directed and produced some of the most notable wines of Bordeaux and California. Today, he applies his intimate knowledge of the terroirs of Bordeaux, his unflinching eye for detail, and the experience earned from 50 harvests as President of Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix.

Edouard Moueix

Edouard Moueix, Christian’s son, joined the family company in 2003. After studying and working in Japan, Europe and North America, Edouard Moueix focused on developing the firm’s commercial activities on the Left and Right Banks of Bordeaux.

In 2008, he consolidated the family’s holdings in Saint-Emilion with the acquisition of Château Bélair-Monange, 1er Grand Cru Classé, and, in 2017 Clos la Madeleine, Grand Cru Classé.

Like his father and grandfather before him, Edouard Moueix is driven above all by a quest for quality, seeking to offer only the most noble expression of terroir for every wine that leaves our cellars.

Our Approach

The Jean-Pierre Moueix wines are sourced from
a careful selection of vineyards located

The Vineyards

As longstanding actors in our community, we believe that our role goes beyond simple transactions. In good years, as in more challenging times, we are dedicated to supporting local viticulture that is respectful, small-scale and sustainable.

We have spent generations building a community of farmers who are dedicated to expressing the essence of the vineyards they cultivate. Year after year, we are fortunate to count among our partners producers located on some of the finest sites of Bordeaux who have a traditional, terroir-driven approach to viticulture.
