Chateau Fonroque was purchased by the Moueix family in 1930. Jean Moueix liked the Bordeaux wine property so much, he lived at the estate. After his death Fonroque was run by the son Jean-Antoine Moueix. Eventually the property joined several other Right Bank wineries and came to be managed by Éts Jean-Pierre Moueix. This happened in 1979.  In 2001, Alain Moueix took charge of the Bordeaux wine chateau. Alain also manages the Pomerol estate Château Mazeyres. Along with the Pomerol estate, Moueix runs Chateau Moulin du Cadet.

The 20 hectare St. Emilion, Bordeaux wine vineyard is planted to 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Moueix is working the vineyards using biodynamic techniques.
