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.

A regional appellation, made principally from Chardonnay grapes, our Coteaux Bourguignons can be produced from vineyards throughout the Greater Burgundy area. It becomes the 101st appellation in Burgundy, created in 2011, with a name that evokes a terroir and an expertise; a wine which allows consumers to gain access to high-quality pure Burgundy wine at a modest price. It offers the wine-lover the joy of discovery, the pleasure of tasting and comparing and the opportunity to learn more about this famous region. As Gaston Roupnel would say, this new Burgundy appellation will succeed "allowing the wine-loving world to drink the health of France!".

Full bunches of grapes are pressed; about 140 kg of grapes are required to produce 100 litres of wine. The must is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks enabling an alcoholic fermentation at about 18°C. As such, we conserve the maximum fruitiness and primary aromas of the Chardonnay grape. Malo-lactic fermentation took place to enable the wine to soften and prepare for bottling.

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
