2020 Trenel - Beaujolais Villages

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.?
