The great wines of Burgundy
In 2018, Château de Messey celebrated its 30th anniversary since the Dumont family bought the château. In love with the region and its wines, we are passionate about developing 2 vineyards in the Mâcon-Cruzille and Mâcon-Chardonnay appellations, in order to mature several Chardonnay cuvées in our cellars. We’d be delighted to show you around our cellars and introduce you to our wines(www.chateaudemessey.com) and our selection of Burgundy wines in our cellar.

Obviously this had an influence on other restaurants and cafés, but also on the quality of their suppliers.
