Since its founding in 1865, the Mommessin house has embraced a dual identity, combining the historical gravitas of a “Burgundian heart” with the pure, vibrant energy of a “Beaujolais soul.”
Mommessin’s commitment to excellence is centered around minimizing human and chemical intervention, treating the grape with utmost respect, and maintaining privileged, long-term partnerships with quality estates—an approach that remains unique within the Beaujolais region.
Conveniently located at the foot of Mont Brouilly, Mommessin is the undisputed champion of the Gamay grape, which reaches its finest expression in this particular Beaujolais terroir. The vines are rooted in the area’s diverse subsoils, with the most symbolic being the very old, decomposed granite rock that is perfectly suited to the lively varietal.
