A long time Bassin's direct import this wonderful Domaine based in the beautiful town of Sablet makes authentic, terroir driven wines that sell for a song. There may be no better "all purpose" red on the planet!
Between the Côte Chalonnaise and the rock of Solutré, the hills of Mâconnais stretch out on about 40 km, from Tournus in the north to Mâcon in the south. The “Mâcon Villages” AOC is given to wines produced in Mâcon and 26 villages in the area. The Mâcon Villages Trénel is produced on parcels facing south and southeast in Charnay-lès-Mâcon and Viré. This blend of different clayey soils with variable limestone ratio bestows a right balance on the wine, rich and subtle at the same time.
The 2016 vintage saw a hot and dry summer, providing perfect ripening conditions for the grapes. The also dry autumn with cool nights favored a very pure varietal aromatic expression. Complex, fine and elegant. The perfect gift for the wine lover.
