    Owner and history

    Château La Mondotte has a relatively small vineyard covering 4.5 hectares. The vineyard is located on the eastern part of the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau. The average yield is 30 hl/ha, with vines averaging 60 years old. The land benefits from natural drainage due to its steep slope. The vineyard is cultivated using biodynamic methods, though not certified organic, and has been certified organic since 2014.
