Trenel by M.Chapoutier L’Esprit de Marius Sangouard Juliénas Cru de Beaujolais

Maison Trenel has always sought authenticity for both its fruit liqueurs and its wines. Authenticity of the fruit, authenticity of the terroir. The purest expression of their origins. Born from a love of its land with its Burgundy traditions, there are numerous similarities between Maison Trenel and M. Chapoutier, their shared love of excellence being the first.

Located in the far northwest of Beaujolais, the Juliénas AOP lies at the crossroads of Beaujolais and Mâconnais. Vines are cultivated on a patchwork of terroirs, between 230 and 420 meters in altitude.
Juliénas Trenel is a tribute to Marius Sangouard, a winemaker in the appellation and a steadfast partner of Maison Trenel, whose vineyards are now cultivated according to the same traditions and methods by his nephew. It comes from old vines located in the climats of “Les Capitans,” “La Croix Rouge,” and “Bois de la Salle.”
