About Maison Monmousseau

At the end of the 19th century, Alcide Monmousseau founded a successful wine business in Montrichard and used the region’s majestic tuffstone cellars for his work. His nephew Justin-Marcel carried on the legacy with a pioneering spirit: he perfected the traditional method in the unique cellars and made Touraine’s fine, delicately sparkling wines famous far beyond Europe. With an eye to the future, Justin-Marcel also recognized the importance of emerging tourism. He opened the cellars to visitors, created new wine-related experiences and brought Monmousseau to international audiences—from transatlantic liners to the United States, where the brand was already represented in 1928.

The region

The Loire Valley wine-growing region in western France is sometimes unfairly overshadowed by the country’s more prestigious wine regions. Yet it has played an important role in the history of French wine for centuries. Today, the region is particularly renowned for its white wines. The wine-growing areas stretch from the hills of the Auvergne inland, along the Loire, to the area around Nantes on the Atlantic coast. Cold, harsh winters, plenty of frost well into spring and varied soils—from granite and limestone to crumbly tuff—give the wines wonderful minerality. Their most famous representatives may be Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.
