Mommessin 2001 Pinot Noir (Clos de Tart)
- $138
The wonderfully complex nose combines such disparate elements as mint, strawberries, pastry crust and bacon fat into aharmonious whole that sings from the glass. Simultaneously lush yet focused and firm, it finishes long, with an herbal tinge. Anticipated maturity: 2008–2015.

Mommessin 2010 Domaine de Champ de Cours Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

Structured, with layers of dark tannins and black cherry flavors. It’s packed with plum juice, hinting almost at Pinot Noir, while also retaining the lovely open Gamay fruit.

Mommessin 2010 Les Griottes Gamay (Morgon)

Griottes are a type of bitter cherry used in cooking, and this wine shares some of that character. It is firmly structured with acidity and an edge of attractive lightness. Age for 2–3 years.

Mommessin 2010 Les Pêchers Gamay (Saint-Amour)
- Best Buy
- $15
A wine with an important structure, tasting very young at this stage. There is great acidity through a lovely, fragrant, forward wine. The acidity gives everything a lift of fruitiness.

Mommessin 2006 Les Caves Grand Exception Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
- $26
With its lightly reductive, earthy aroma, this is on the farmyard side of Gamay. But on the palate, its richness show there is also plenty of promise with a wine that is stuffed with bright sweet red fruits, a solid structure and richness. The acidity is all there, but held in balance by the texture.

Mommessin 2010 La Cerisaie Gamay (Fleurie)
- $15
A very complete wine, firm but flattering on the palate. A mix of cherry skins, red plums and lovely juiciness all come together in an harmonious whole.
