Christian Moueix got his first taste of California while studying at the University of California, Davis, in the late 1960s. He returned to his native Bordeaux, working with his father, Jean-Pierre, in the family business, which included a burgeoning négociant operation and a cluster of properties they owned and managed. Today, the roster of Moueix’s Bordeaux interests is an all-star lineup: châteaus such as Trotanoy, La Fleur-Pétrus and Hosanna in Pomerol and Bélair-Monange in St.-Emilion.
