Mommessin is a négociant firm headquartered in Quincié-en-Beaujolais. In the 1990s, the business was acquired by the Boisset Group and subsequently relocated to the Beaujolais region. Previously, it had been a family-owned enterprise situated in the Maconnais region, where it produced an extensive range of wines representing different Burgundy appellations. This Charmes-Chambertin wine hails from the 1988 vintage, which proved to be a generally favourable year for grape harvesting in Burgundy. While Chardonnay thrived in terms of quantity, Pinot Noir, though less abundant, displayed remarkable concentration.
