Châteaux Moncets & Chambrun

Nestled in the heart of Lalande de Pomerol, Château Moncets and Château de Chambrun stand as shining examples of tradition, sustainability, and innovation. This ambitious estate is driven by a passion for a refreshingly contemporary, terroir-focused style of Right Bank Bordeaux.

 

Winery History

The storied Château Moncets estate dates back to 1770, later purchased by General de Moncets in 1872. In 2012, a young French family from Brittany acquired the estate and embarked on a journey to revive the vines and cellars. Their vision included the integration of Château de Chambrun, establishing a mission to create one of the finest estates in Lalande de Pomerol.

Viticulture/Winemaking Style

Sustainability is at the heart of Château Moncets & Château de Chambrun. By adopting modern techniques like earthing/unearthing, green manuring, and hand harvesting, the estate produces exceptional wines while minimizing its environmental impact. With the help of a gravity flow cellar, unsulfured winemaking, and integral vinification, renowned oenologists Michel Rolland and Thomas Duclos bring their expertise to create wines with character and finesse. 

 

Grape Varieties
