Our Wines

Mosén Pierre wines are a reflection of the land in which they are born.

Mosén Pierre

The meaning of it name has a connection with friendship. The word Mosen reminds phonetically to the French word “maison” that means home. Pierre was the name of an oenologist who lived in Burdeos, an enthusiast of this wines and one of the family Manzanos´ best friend. As Pierre feared running out of these wines that he loved in his “maison”, they decided to bring them directly to Burdeos and to name them after him.
