Mommessin Wines

Sort By:

Mommessin 2001 Pinot Noir (Clos de Tart)

Price $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. — J.C. (10/1/2003)

Mommessin 2001 Charmes-Chambertin Pinot Noir (Burgundy)

Price $90

A big, forceful wine, packed with oversized cherry and vanilla flavors. Herb and smoke aromas add complexity, delicately framing the powerful fruit. Finishes long and softly tannic. Drink 2005–2015. — J.C. (10/1/2003)

Mommessin 2010 Les Griottes Gamay (Morgon)

Cellar Selection

Price $16

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. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

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

Price $16

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. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Mommessin 2006 Les 3 Terroirs Grande Exception Gamay (Saint-Amour)

Price $27

This wine is part of the limited edition range of wines that is setting a new standard at Mommessin. With its smooth, rich character, flavors of chocolate, red berry fruits and balanced wood, it is worth aging. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

Mommessin 2010 Les Pêchers Gamay (Saint-Amour)

Best Buy

Price $15

Top 100 Best Buys 2011

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. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Mommessin 2010 La Cerisaie Gamay (Fleurie)

Price $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. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Mommessin 2007 Château de Pierreux Gamay (Brouilly)

Price $17

The vast 190-acre Château de Pierreux is Mommessin’s showpiece estate. From it comes this rich wine, with velvet sumptuousness that is kept in check by some firm tannins. It’s a powerful wine, likely to age, its flavors of strawberry and red currant combining with a weighty texture. — R.V. (11/1/2009)
