The Mommessin estate is located in the south of Burgundy. Founded in 1865 in Mâcon, the Mommessin estate has mainly developed in Beaujolais, where it has become one of the jewels. From this double lineage, Mommessin wines have drawn their exceptional character, resulting from a meeting between the quest for excellence which characterizes Burgundy and the explosion of taste which makes Beaujolais great.
Mommessin wines combine suppleness and aromas, for a result that is at the same time rich, colorful, tender and silky: wines combining tradition and exception. The estate is obsessed with the quality of its wines, which is why it selects the finest plots and the best grapes to achieve excellence. The Mommesin estate also works to respect nature and is developing its eco-responsible dimension, in particular by restricting the use of phytosanitary products and regular monitoring of yields.

(11-2009) The ripe opulent vintage is apparent in this pale ruby garnet coloured wine. This wine has a seamless texture, sweet fruit profile and is powerful from beginning to end. The flavours are vibrant and lively with sweet red-berry fruits and an opulent texture followed by a long sweet finish. Very impressive wine.
(12-2009) Vibrant and bright ruby. Edge of something burnt on the nose. Loose and sweet and a little bit, well, tarty.
