The Mommessin négociant business was purchased by Boisset in the 1990s and subsequently moved to Beaujolais. It had previously been a family firm, based in the Maconnais region and making a wide range of wines from Burgundy appellations. Mommessin’s main claim to fame was its purchase of the Clos de Tart Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis in 1932, a property that the family still owns.

Today, Mommessin makes wines from around the south and east of France. The Beaujolais line-up is headed by a Morgon Côte de Py and Morgon Les Charmes, followed by numerous village-level wines, Beaujolais-Villages, Beaujolais Nouveau and a Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay. Burgundy wines include La Clé Saint Pierre Bourgogne Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Macon-Villages and Côte de Beaune-Villages. A wide range of Rhône wines including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Côtes-du-Rhône is produced under several labels. The portfolio is underpinned by the Cuvée Saint Pierre range of Vin de France wines.
