66 Dominique MENERET, from a wine growers family in St-Emilion, purchased this estate in 1998. Domaine de Courteillac is located on the highest plateau of Entre-Deux- Mers, 20 minutes drive south-east of Saint-Emilion. Enjoying an exceptional terroir, very similar to the terroir of Saint- Emilion and Côtes de Castillon, this vineyard produces wines of great elegance and extreme finesse which can stand out amongst the top wines of the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation and can compare to wines of more noble producing areas in Bordeaux. www.domainedecourteillac.com Domaine de Courteillac Jean-Pierre Moueix, a wine merchant (negociant) company was founded in 1937 by Mr Jean-Pierre Moueix.(1913- 2003) Following the Great Depression of 1929, the family moved from the heart of France in the Corrèze, as did many of their neighbours, seeking a better life nearer to the important port of Bordeaux. They settled on the right bank of the River Dordogne in Libourne. Jean-Pierre was succeeded by his son Christian (b. 1946) who joined the business in 1970, becoming President in 1991 and his son Edouard (b. 1977) has now joined his father in Libourne as managing director.
