Description

About the Producer

Mommessin is located in the Beaujolais wine region of France and is a renowned first growth in the region. With 77 hectares of vineyards, Château de Momence is located in the northern part of the Beaujolais appellation, in a typical continental climate with hot summers and little rain and long, dry autumns. The vineyards are planted on hillsides where the soil is made up mainly of weathered granite layers, rich in minerals and ideal for the cultivation of high quality Gamay grapes. For this reason, only Gamay is planted in the vineyards of the winery. After the grapes have ripened, the winery conducts a Green Harvest to improve the overall quality of the grapes by removing the underdeveloped and unripe grapes. The harvested grapes are then carefully selected by the winery workers before being vinified to produce wines with a blend of Burgundy and Beaujolais terroirs. These wines are soft and round in tannin, fresh and fruity, and have the potential to age well. With respect for the vine and nature, Château de Momence has always been an environmentally friendly winegrower. The winery is located in an appellation that borders Burgundy to the north and the Rhone Valley to the south, and has maintained good relationships with the best vineyards in both appellations, producing the Mommessin Burgundy and Mommessin Rhone Valley wines.
