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 regional appellation "Beaujolais" was recognized in 1937 and is the most extensive of the region. It produces fresh and fruity wines, perfect for the first days of summer. Trénel's Beaujolais Cuvée Rochebonne is produced on the east of the "Pierres Dorées" area, on three parcels east oriented and facing the Mont Blanc. They’re located in the village of Lucenay and are particularly ancient: the older one has been planted in 1922. The soil is very clayey and gives roundness and structure to the wine.
The AOC "Beaujolais Villages" brings together 38 villages of the region producing lip-smacking red, white and rosé wines. Trénel's Beaujolais Villages is produced in the area next to the villages of Perréon and Clochemerle. The parcels with sandy-loam and granitic soils are south and east oriented.
Fresh, direct and focused, with red currant and cherry coulis notes that race through, dotted with savory, floral and tobacco accents. Judicious toast lets the fruit play out, and there's solid energy throughout. Drink now through 2030.
Dried apple, honey and hints of straw and bitter lemon at the end. It’s medium-bodied with plenty of fruit. 60% sauvignon blanc and 40% semillon.
