Chateau
des Fines Roches (the impressive building) were not created as a
winery. In fact there have never been made or aged wines wines
inside the building (Chateau). It was in the 1930ties purshaced by
an entrepeneur Louis Mousset. He had three children.
His daughter Catherine inherited vineyards around Chateau Fines
Roches and the rigth to use the brand name.
Catherine Mousset married Robert Barrot
and their part of the inheritage was named Vignobles
Mousset-Barrot. Today it's the two daughters of Catherinne and
Robert who run the firm. Gaëlle is in charge of the
vineyards, Amélie takes care of the office and promotional
matters. Gaëlle's husbond Frédéric Maillet who is
educated as an oenolog makes the wines.
The vineyards of Chateau des Finesh Roches cover 53 ha of
Chateauneuf du Pape of which 48 ha are with red varieties.
In AOC Cotes du Rhone and Cotes du Rhone Villages Vignobles
Mousset-Barrot owns Chateau du Bois de la Garde with 65 ha.
In 2003 a property of 5,5 ha, Jas de Bressy, was purchased from
the Trintignant family. From here a Chateauneuf du Pape quite
different from Fines Roches is made.
