Trenel by M.Chapoutier Fleurie Cru de Beaujolais

Vinum Lector Staff — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 08:49:59 +0000

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. The Fleurie appellation, located in the heart of the Beaujolais crus, is not a reference to the region's lush vegetation but to the name of the Roman legionary Fleurus. Yet, its wines are often described as the finest in Beaujolais. They do indeed possess a fleshy, silky texture and aromas of violet, rose, or iris, imparted by the sandy soils derived from pink granite in which the vines are planted.

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." For more info, visit Trenel website.
