The wine
Beaujolais Nouveau enjoys great popularity in France and the festivities surrounding the arrival of this yearly wine, promptly appearing every third Thursday of November, have extended their appeal to wine lovers in many countries. Mommesin is now recognised as the second most famous winery in the production of this wine. It has little in common with other wines: young, made with Gamay grapes and using the carbonic fermentation method (whole berry), leaving out the tannic element generally found in reds, which results in a non-astringent wine, easy to drink and ideal for serving slightly chilled on a festive occasion.

These are smooth, perfumed, rich and colourful wines, traditional blends and exceptional. Great respect for the vineyard...
