Since 1865, the spirit of Mommessin has consisted of a Beaujolais soul and a Burgundian heart that define a style that is fruity, powerful and very close to its roots.

The Mommessin spirit stands out for the alliance of two winegrowing regions - Burgundy and the Beaujolais, two cultures that make our wines distinctive and appealing.

This Beaujolais is a wine that is designed to be enjoyed in its youth. It can also keep for up to 6 years.

Although tradition has it that Beaujolais is a region of red wine production, some plots, thanks to the different textures of their sub-soils, allow the successful blooming of the Chardonnay grape variety. Created in 1937, the Beaujolais white has two birthplaces: Villefranche in the Rhône and the canton of La Chapelle de Guinchay in the Saône-et-Loire.

Parcels of our Beaujolais blanc are situated in the village of Saint-Amour,(Rhône) and on the ‘plateau du bois de Loyse’, in the village of La Chapelle de Guinchay near Beaujolais, in Saône-et-Loire. The soils are mainly composed of limestone and clay interspersed with sandy granite veins. They are situated on the border between the granite slopes and the former bed of the Saône River. The Chardonnay vines are fed by the river’s more recent sediments, and soil deposits that date back to Hercynian period lend them a gentle trace of minerality.
