Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix was founded in 1937 by M. Jean-Pierre Moueix on the Quai du Priourat, on the bank of the Dordogne as it flows through the city of Libourne. The firm grew quite rapidly yet remained specialized in the wines of its region, and particularly in the wines of Pomerol and of Saint-Emilion.

The first profits were invested in wine producing properties, beginning, in 1952, with the purchase of Château Magdelaine, a Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion. Next were acquired Châteaux La Fleur Pétrus and Trotanoy in Pomerol, to mention only the most famous. At present, Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix owns or controls twelve properties with a collective surface area of over 100 hectares (250 acres).

As the house pursued its development, it achieved, by the 1960s, a capacity equal to the largest houses of Bordeaux. This growth necessitated the purchase of larger and larger facilities. Thus, around the old central cellars, which have always been the place where visitors and clients are received, a number of neighboring cellars have been adjoined such that their surface area now exceeds 25,000 square meters.

As did all the great houses of Bordeaux, Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix suffered greatly from the 1972 crisis, but the individual efforts of each employee and the careful conservatism of management allowed the company to regain its balance and resume growth. Despite this growth, Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix has preserved the specialization which from the outset focused on the wines of the company's region, Bordeaux's left bank, and conducts its affairs solely at the production and wholesale level of the business.

Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix today counts 120 employees under the management of Jean-Pierre Moueix’ son Christian Moueix. Mr. Jean-Claude Berrouet, directs the technical and oenologic aspect of the company, and Mr. Michel Gillet, oversees the company's viticultural activities.
