Such was the estate's reputation, that General de Moncets' family bought the estate in 1872 without even having seen it. His descendants patiently went about improving the estate down to the smallest details, and selected the best grape varieties and rootstock according to the characteristics of each vineyard plot. The beginning of an incredible continuity, marked by generations of talent and passion, is one of the reasons for Château Moncets' success through the years. Meticulous efforts were made over many decades to acquire plots in order to form a large, homogeneous vineyard in a single block.

Château Moncets is located at the intersection of four of the most prestigious wine producing regions in Bordeaux: Montagne Saint-Emilion, Néac, Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Nature has blessed this spot with special characteristics that come through in the deliciously subtle wine.

Vines currently grow on 20 of Château Moncets' 25 hectares. The estate produces about 1,000 hectolitres of wine a year. Traditional winemaking methods are used because this is the only way to keep the winemaker in permanent contact with the wine, motivating him to strive for perfection. Louis-Gabriel de Jerphanion produces with the greatest of care, in the most traditional way possible: ageing in oak barrels, racking with a bellows, and fining with egg whites. This results in wines of great finesse, with an elegant bouquet, much appreciated by connoisseurs on five continents.
Emmanuel and Louis-Gabriel de Jerphanion also own Château La Bastidette, appellation Montagne-Saint-Emilion contrôlée.
