| Chateau Demessey In 1986, Marc DUMONT bought a vineyard in Cruzille, in Maconnais, that originally belonged to the monks of the illustrious Abbey of Cluny. A few years later, he met the Demoiselles Jourdan sisters then the owners of Chateau de Messey, a domain of 89 hectares (220 acres), of which 17 hectares (42 acres) had produced AOC wines until 1958. Marc Dumont purchased this domain to carry on the tradition of many generations in the art of fine wine making. The beautiful XVIth century vaulted cellars assure the best conditions for making high quality wine. To offer as wide a range as possible, Marc DUMONT decided to extend beyond the production of Clos des Avoueries by buying grapes or must from quality vineyards across Burgundy. After a few years, in order to reduce the distance from the vines to the cellar to minimize the risk of oxidation, he acquired Manoir Murisaltien, with 1500 m2 (16,000 sq. ft) of beautiful cellars in the heart of Burgundy at Meursault, center of the fabulous white Cote d'Or wines. Thus wines from Maconnais are made and matured at Chateau de Messey, while those from Cote de Beaune, Cote de Nuits and Cote Chalonnaise are brought to their full potential at Meursault, in the best tradition of the unique flavor and style of each specific terroir. for more details >>> |
