AT THE HEART SAINT EMILION'S BEST VINEYARDS
Château La Voûte estate is the latest estate integrating by Les Domaines de Moncets in 2025.
Château La Voûte is a 3.9250 hectare vineyard , including 1.42 hectares planted at the highest point of Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse , in the heart of the AOC Saint Saint-Émilion
Perched at 91 meters above sea level , this exceptional terroir is home to old Merlot vines, overlooking a prestigious environment surrounded by renowned estates such as Château Valandraud, Château Péby Faugères, and Château de Pressac.
THE ESTATE’S WINES
The estate produces two wines which faithfully reflect the characteristics of the terroir on which they are grown. Château La Voûte is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wine and its younger relation, La Clef de Voûte, is a Saint-Émilion.

THE TERROIR
We grow our vines using the supervised control approach, which includes the use of sexual confusion control techniques. We cover plant one row in two, alternating them with rows which have been mechanically ploughed. This allows a variety of flora and fauna to flourish throughout the year.
HARVESTING
Harvesting is carried out by hand, using sorting tables and ‘cagettes’ (small trays). Grapes are gently transported to inverted stainless steel tronconic tanks by means of a peristaltic pump. They are subjected to cold maceration for a few days before being fermented for about a week, then macerated for 2 to 3 weeks depending on the wine in question.
AGEING
With the Château La Voûte, we lovingly blend wine that’s been aged in French oak barrels sourced from 5 different coopers, each of which have been painstakingly selected. The wine is aged between 14 to 16 months, depending on the particular wine.
Our fresh, fruity La Clef de Voûte is aged in tanks.
THE CELLAR
Entirely renovated in 2019, the cellar invites curiosity. Its elliptical-shaped infrastructure, designed by Gaëtan Moreau, was conceived to provide optimal working flexibility.
The ergonomics of this space, in line with the state-of-the-art equipment it houses, adapts to each vintage vinification process. It’s a question of balance!
On one side of the cellar, are positioned inverted tapered stainless-steel tanks whose dimensions correspond to a very specific vineyard plot.
On the other side, the barrels are suspended in space. This bespoke shelving system adapts perfectly to the oval walls of the building and allows minimal handling of the barrels.
OUR WINES
The Château La Voûte is very much part of a tradition of superb Saint Émilion wines, endowed with a delicate woody character, mouth-filling and a delight to drink. Perfect for special occasions – what’s more, it has good aging potential.
La Clef de Voûte, as Gaëtan Moreau likes to say, is a wine to enjoy with friends, generous, fruity, refreshing – great for sharing and enjoying life to the full together!
