They worked exclusively with the relatively unknown wines of the \"Right Bank\", particularly concentrating on Pomerol and St-Émilion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, Jean-Pierre grew the merchanting business but also, very astutely, began to acquire his own properties, including several estates which are hugely sought-after, amongst them, notably, Châteaux Trotanoy and La Fleur-Pétrus in Pomerol and Château Magdelaine in Saint-Émilion. The highlight of his career was the acquisition of Château Petrus. He entrusted its care to his son Christian for 38 vintages. Jean-François Moueix, his elder son, inherited the property and in 2009 took over the management. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix is responsible for the distribution of many of the most revered wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol which, to a great extent, they have helped to put on the map. In a relatively short time the wines of the Right Bank, totally overlooked in the 1855 classification of the wines of Bordeaux, have risen from obscurity to the heights of worldwide demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.moueix.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Ets.

Jean-Pierre Moueix Pomerol 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eÉtablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, specialists in the fine wines of Bordeaux since 1937, today own and distribute a number of notable Châteaux of the region. For 80 years, they have been committed to sourcing the finest fruit grown by local farmers to produce wines that are balanced, elegant and reflect the distinctive terroirs of this renowned region. The unique quality of Pomerol lies in its geology: clay and gravel on the central plateau; and variations of gravel, sand and clay as the elevation declines. These soils are ideally suited to the Merlot grape, which offers youthful charm and approachability combined with singular longevity when grown in this terroir. This geological complexity yields rich, powerful, seductive wines that display remarkable balance and elegance. The Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix Pomerol, a blend of second wines from the Jean-Pierre Moueix family vineyards and other renowned Châteaux of the appellation, is crafted with care to express the nuances of fruit and terroir from this storied appellation. After vinification, the wine is blended and aged in the historic Quai du Priourat cellars in Libourne, benefitting from all the expertise of the Jean-Pierre Moueix technical teams. Dominated by Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc in the blend, the Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix Pomerol is a brilliant garnet red in colour. On the nose, complex and harmonious notes of raspberries and blueberries emerge from a subtle backdrop of spice and smoke. The palate is refined and precise with the elegant, silky tannins so characteristic of Pomerol. [#intro]Ets.
