Château Vieux Mougnac is more than just a winery; it represents a commitment to producing high-quality, organic red and white wines. Visitors can enjoy a unique experience that includes a tour of a museum showcasing vintage tools used by the family over generations. The estate also features a charming farm where guests can interact with domestic animals, making it a delightful outing for families and wine enthusiasts alike.
Located just 50 km from Bordeaux, near the picturesque village of Saint-Emilion, Château Vieux Mougnac spans 10 hectares. The vineyard dedicates 0.5 hectares to the white grape variety, Sémillon, while the remaining 9.5 hectares are home to red varieties, primarily consisting of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. This careful selection of grapes contributes to the winery's exceptional wine profile.
Since its establishment in 1870, Château Vieux Mougnac has been a family-run winery, now in its fifth generation. The Milhard-Bessard family has been committed to organic farming since 2012, respecting the natural rhythms of the seasons and the environment. Their unique cultivation methods allow vine roots to grow deep and healthy, avoiding chemical treatments and utilizing traditional plowing techniques. Visitors may even spot a horse working alongside the vines, a testament to their dedication to sustainable practices. Château Vieux Mougnac is a true reflection of beauty and craftsmanship in every bottle.

After a stay with friends punctuated by local activities, tastings of the estate's wines or moments of rest, everything was perfect! The wine is as usual, delicious, the accommodation spacious, pleasant and relaxing, very close to the charming town of St Emilion to indulge in various culinary pleasures! To sometimes consume in moderation but without a doubt to renew very quickly!

We recently attended a wine tasting workshop as part of a stag do and were absolutely delighted with our experience. The workshop was superbly organized, and the atmosphere was both friendly and educational. Laetitia was absolutely wonderful. Her passion for wine was palpable and she knew how to make tasting both enriching and accessible to all levels. Thanks to her, we learned a lot about the different varieties of wine and tasting techniques. The wines offered were of high quality and the selection was varied, allowing you to discover a wide range of flavors and aromas. Additionally, the setting was lovely which added to the overall experience. We highly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of wine while having an enjoyable and informative time. Thanks to Laetitia and the whole team for this unforgettable experience!
