The Mousset family

.

Louis Mousset
In 1936 The very dynamic Louis Mousset purchased Chateau des Fines Roches and it became the centre of quite a big wine business including a negociant firm Louis Mousset.
Today his descendants have their own separate estates.

Jacques Mousset
Inherited from his father the negociant firm and some estates, but sold off the negociant firm to Cellier des Dauphins in 1996.
Today the Mousset family has nothing to do with this firm any more. Jacques Mousset has retired and his three sons now run his estates.

Guy Mousset
Guy Mousset created his own company Vignobles Guy Mousset (Clos Saint Michel).

Catherine Mousset
Catherine, the youngest child of Louis Mousset married Robert Barrot and today they own Vignobles Mousset Barrot consisting of three properties Chateau des Fines Roches (53 hectares Chateauneuf du Pape), Chateau du Bois de la Garde (63 hectares Cotes du Rhone). In 2003 Chateau Jas de Bressy (4,5 hectares Chateauneuf du Pape) was purchased, and in the building here the compagny now has their own wine shop.

Until May 2006 part of the buildings including the hostellerie was rented to Cellier des Dauphins. Now the manager is Laurent Zenaro.
