Tradition refined bubbles
The tradition began in 1886 with Alcide Monmousseau, who founded a merchant wine house in Montrichard When his business was highly recognized at the end of 19th century, he discovered one of the most important tuffeau stone quarries of the region, which became for him and his nephew, Justin Marcel Monmousseau the perfect place for the production of wines according to the MéthodeTraditionnelle. Indeed, the latter incited the house to adopt this technique at the beginning of the 1900s.
The best natural place to preserve wine
Abandoned after being used to extract stone for the construction of the Loire's royal castles Chenonceau Chambord this quarry provided Justine Marcel Alcide with one of the most fantastic caves that a wine enthusiast could dream of a network of 15 km of sound and solid galleries After taking over the reins of the House, he developed thanks to the Great Sparkling Wines of Touraine, the notoriety of Monmousseau across national borders in Europe and Asia The wines were notably served at the dining room table of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and were even mentioned in Japanese literature (The Drops of God).
A work of fine craftmanship
Touraine's different soil types and grape varieties, suchas Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, allow the house to produce wines boasting wonderful diversity and a character of their own, sublimated by traditional ageing on laths The wines are very expressive, lively and fresh, resulting from the willingness to work solely with small blends.
Winemaking is a real work of craftsmanship. Each and every new harvest, the house's oenologist Thomas Ragot, tailors the winemaking through to the final note When it comes to each new wine, the liqueur is fine tuned to guarantee the sought after profile, all the while allowing the terroir to fully express itself.
