Tertio de Montrose Saint-Estèphe AOC (Château Montrose GCC 3rd wine)

The history of Montrose, written in two centuries by three families of owners, is depositary of their spirit, marked by their quest of excellence and legendary vintages. Pioneers in the Médoc, visionary builders and wise managers, all these families knew how to work and valorise this unique terroir. The estate owes them the foundation on which Montrose builds its image today and its unique place in the world of exceptional wines.

Third blend made from batches of the younger vines and the lees wines, Tertio de Montrose, is produced on the exceptional terroir of Château Montrose and vinified by its teams. Named Saint-Estèphe de Montrose when created in 2008, it was renamed Tertio de Montrose in 2016.

Aged for 12 months, for which 15% in new barrels, this wine is made with the same quality requirements as the Grand Vin and La Dame de Montrose selections. Typical of the Bordeaux blends, this wine can be enjoyed in its early years.

Trenel by M.Chapoutier Cuvée Rochebonne 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.

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.
Trenel’s Beaujolais Cuvée Rochebonneis produced on the east of the “Pierres Dorées” area, on three parcels east orientedand 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.

Trenel by M.Chapoutier Fleurie 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.

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.

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.”

Vignobles Günther-Chereau Queue de Morue Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie

2020

Vignobles Günther-Chereau Queue de Morue Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie

A family estate with character: two passionate women, Véronique & Aurore, mother & daughter, are at the head of this estate, which works in a family tradition and continuity for several generations.
Authenticity & passion: the purity of the terroirs and the wines, the minerality and sharing through tasting are key positions.
Expertise & elegance: the excellence of the terroirs and the finesse of our Muscadets have always been the watchwords.

Queue de Corue (or “Tail of Cod”) comes from the name of the plot given internally for years. It evokes a plot in a triangle and slightly sloping and therefore more difficult to work. It is a gabbro terroir which brings freshness and salinity. However, the very sunny vintage and the harvest date bring this wine to notes of yellow fruits. This is usually the last plot harvested of the vintage.

Vin Biologique / Certified organic ECOCERT
