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.

Origins

The Côte-de-Brouilly appellation was established in 1934. The owners of the Brouilly hill sought to preserve the distinctive identity of their wines amid the expansion of the Brouilly appellation boundaries, as Côte-de-Brouilly wines are traditionally richer and more structured than Brouilly wines.

Terroir

The vineyard, located entirely on the steep slopes of Brouilly hill, is rooted in very hard blue-green granite and schist soils known as “cornes vertes” or diorite. Mont Brouilly is believed to be a remnant of the region’s ancient volcanic activity, making it one of the most emblematic terroirs of Beaujolais.

Vinification and maturing

Hand-harvested grapes.

Gravity-fed filling into concrete vats. Whole-cluster maceration for approximately ten days, including pump-overs and rack-and-return operations prior to pressing, to maximise structure and colour extraction.

The wine is then aged on fine lees in tank.
