Château La Voûte

Saint emilion grand cru

Château La Voûte is the latest estate to join the Domaines de Moncets.
It is a 3.93-hectare garden, with 1.42 hectares planted on the highest point of Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, in the heart of the Saint-Émilion AOC.

Perched at an altitude of 91 meters, this exceptional terroir is home to old Merlot vines that overlook a prestigious landscape, surrounded by renowned estates such as Château Valandraud, Château Péby Faugères, and Château de Pressac.

The soil, covered by a thin layer of red clay about 20 cm deep, rests upon asteria limestone plateau rich in asteria. This unique geological feature gives the grape variety the time it needs to fully express its aromatic power and tannic elegance, while preserving remarkable freshness.
