Château Moncets

Lalande de Pomerol

Created in 1770, the Château Moncets estate is our oldest vineyard and bears the name of the Général de Moncets, who bought it in 1872. Repurchased many years later in 2012 by a French family-owned company, the vines and cellars have since been fully renovated and rehabilitated in order to sustain the estate and thus integrate into it a second vineyard, Château de Chambrun. The production of Chateau Moncets has evolved through a more elaborate and refined winemaking process, enhanced further by its newly designed bottle label.
