Meursault Mommesin 1992
Mommessin, a house founded in 1865 and located in the heart of Burgundy, produced this 1992 Meursault. The producer is known for selecting prestigious appellations and staying true to viticultural traditions. Following the harvest, the wines are immediately brought into their cellars, where they are carefully aged under the attentive supervision of the cellar master.
This white wine originates from Meursault, an area situated in the Côte de Beaune. It is one of Burgundy's most famous appellations dedicated to Chardonnay. Although Meursault does not have any Grand Cru vineyards, it is home to numerous highly recognized Premier Cru sites. The broader Burgundy region in eastern France was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs. With a fine-meshed system of climats stretching from Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the area's limestone soils yield highly sought-after wines. The 1992 vintage in this region is generally described as thin and weak.
The wine is made from Chardonnay, which is one of the world's most famous white grape varieties. While it is prominently cultivated in Burgundy, it is also widely grown in other major wine regions such as Champagne, California, and Oregon. This specific release holds the Appellation Meursault Contrôlée classification and has an alcohol content of 13%.
