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.

Black Gamay with white juice.

Serve ideally at a temperature of 15°C to 18°C. (59-65°F.).

A good match with old-fashionned chicken-liver gateau or meat/poultry dishes in sauce, such as duck magrets, or with goat cheese.

A wine full of charm and vivacity in its youth. It will develop finesse and elegance after several years (3 to 8 years).

The appellation “Côte-de-Brouilly” was first authorised in 1934 with the vineyard owners on the Brouilly hillside concerned that the wine would lose its identity with the recent extension of the “Broully” appellation. Côte-de-Brouilly is considered richer and more structured in style than Brouilly.

The vineyard, situated totally on the steep slopes of Mount Brouilly is at 400 metres and faces South- West.

It is on granite and very hard schist, of blue colour referred to ask “diorites”.

Mount Brouilly is a former volcano dating back to the Primary era.

Age of Vines: 56 years-old.
Yield: 52 hectolitres per hectare.

Plots: From a selected vineyard situated at the base of the steep Mont Brouilly slopes, with a rigorous selection on the property of the partner-grower. The vineyard faces East but benefits from fine sunshine thanks to the rounded hillside. The vines are pruned “en gobelet” and managed with sustainable farming methods.
