8-Vintage : 2021

A very small harvest, but a success!

The harvest of 2021 was spread out over three weeks and finished around October 6th in vineyards, with later ripening.

First tastings revealed very fruity, fine,elegant, flattering, and soft wines.

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 Beaujolais, two cultures that make our wines distinctive and appealing.

The name of Juliénas comes from «Jules Caesar».

The vineyard is situated north of Beaujolais Vineyard, both at the limit of the Gamay area and at the boundary of Chardonnay grape variety area.

The vineyards of Juliénas are, with Saint-Amour, the northern cru of the Beaujolais area, in the very south of Burgundy.

They spread over the villages of Juliénas, Jullié, Emeringes, and Pruzilly.
