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.

2022   2023  

100% Gamay Noir (with white juice).

Colour: elegant ruby red.
Nose: fruity aromas of blackberry and raspberry typical of the Gamay grape variety.
Palate: a greedy wine, crispy with fruit and structure, complexity and delicate spicy flavours

Serve ideally at a temperature situated between 16 and 18°C. (60-64°F.).

A lovely wine which will perfectly match with traditional Lyonnaise cuisine: charcuterie, pâté en croute, cooked and marinated beef, dumplings and other specialties. It will also accompany an entire meal right up to the cheeses platter.

Already very pleasant with fruity and crunchy youth notes, it can easily be kept for 2 to 3 years in the cellar in good conditions.

The Coteaux du Lyonnais vineyards are located at an altitude of between 200 and 550 metres above sea level. They cover around 210 hectares of cultivated land and are spread over two main areas around ten kilometres from Lyon, around L'Arbresle to the north and Brignais to the south. They are bordered to the east by the Rhône and Saône rivers, to the west by the Monts du Lyonnais and to the north and south by the Beaujolais and Rhône Valley vineyards.

On a subsoil essentially composed of granites and metamorphic rocks with a wide diversity of terroirs, Gamay, the iconic grape variety of Maison Mommessin, offers a unique, spicy, structured and complex expression, in the spirit of the great wines of the east part of the Massif Central.
