Montceau, who previously knocked out Ligue 1 sides Racing Lens and Girondins Bordeaux, failed to emulate Calais, the last amateurs to reach the final in 2000.
Sochaux, fourth in Ligue 1, opened the scoring with a close-range shot by Sebastien Grax five minutes into extra-time and Jerome Leroy sealed victory 18 minutes later.
Olympique Marseille, winners of the trophy a record 10 times, and Ligue 1 bottom club Nantes meet in the other semi at the Stade Velodrome on Wednesday.
