History:Started in 1886 by Alcide Monmousseau, the winery continues today producing both red and white wines in Touraine which is part of the Loire Valley. Alcide's son Justin noted the similarity between the conditions in Touraine and those in Champagne and thus decided to begain the production of sparkling wines at the turn of the 20th Century.

The company has grown, and besides their highly regarded Méthode Traditionnelle wines, they produce the other great red and white wines from the Loire. The reputation of Monmousseau wines has resulted in their appointments as suppliers of prestigious sparkling wines to the Royal courts of Europe since the turn of the 20th Century.

Wines:Cremant de Loire A.O.C., Clos de Château de Mosny
