It was Bernard Dugat-Py who really brought the estate to its peak. In the 1980s, he took over the family business and made significant changes. He began to adopt more rigorous viticultural practices and to emphasise the pursuit of the highest quality in wine production.

Eric runs the Domaine with the help of his daughter Cyrielle. Over the years, the Domaine has grown and now works a surface area of 15 hectares 33, including 3 hectares of Appellation Village, 3 hectares 77 of Appellation Premier Cru and 8 hectares 51 of Appellation Grand Cru, located on the territories of Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis. Since its creation, it is a ritual that is naturally established in the family of winegrowers: the previous generation teaches the next one so that it perpetuates a close link between Man and the vine as well as the work well done. This passion for the vine is reborn again and again in the Rousseau family... This deep respect for the terroir is rooted in the family.

Sylvie Milhard, the 4th generation, first worked as an accountant in the Libourne region before continuing her parents' work.
Born in the midst of the boom in intensive agriculture, she quickly realised that her family's estate was one of the few in the region not to follow the path of globalisation. In order to preserve this know-how and philosophy, Sylvie took over Château Vieux Mougnac in 1991.
For her, this estate is much more than just a vineyard, it is a heritage that must be preserved and passed on to future generations.

The particularity of Château Vieux Mougnac is to market old vintages; wines ready to drink.

Jean-Pierre Moueix made significant changes to the production of Petrus. He reduced the size of the vineyard and introduced rigorous grape selection. He also introduced technical innovations, notably the use of stainless steel vats for fermentation, which improved the quality of the wine produced. The turning point for Petrus came in 1947, when the wine won international recognition at a tasting in Brussels. Since then, Petrus has become synonymous with excellence and prestige in the world of wine. Despite its worldwide renown, Petrus remains a relatively small estate with limited production. The vines cover around 11.5 hectares and are mainly planted with Merlot, a grape variety that thrives in the clay soil of Pomerol. The estate does not produce a second wine, which means that all the grapes harvested are used to produce Petrus itself.

Today, Petrus is still run by the Moueix family. Jean-François Moueix, son of Jean-Pierre, and his team continue the legacy of quality and excellence established by their predecessor. Each vintage of Petrus is eagerly awaited by collectors and wine lovers the world over, and it remains one of the most sought-after wines on the market, with prices that reflect its iconic status.
