Trenel Crémant de Bourgogne possesses a brilliant gold colour. The bubbles are fine and pleasant in the mouth. The nose marries fresh aromas of acacia, green apple and white peach with buttery and nutty notes, due to its particularly long aging. It’s a gastronomic wine: round and very complex in the mouth.

About the Producer

Founded in 1928 by Henri Claudius Trénel, Maison Trénel is one of the most ancient and well-known houses of the Beaujolais and the Macon wine regions of France. For nearly a century, the house has had the great fortune of working with vineyards are superbly situated and judiciously farmed. These vines consistently yield very high-quality fruit. For example, some of the vines for Trénel’s Beaujolais-Villages upwards of 60 years of age.

Maison Trénel is guided by the principles of authenticity of fruit, and authenticity of terroir. The house has always strived to produce wines & fruit liqueurs that exemplify the purest expression of their origins. This sentiment is born from a love of the land, as well as a deep respect and continued practice of Burgundian traditions. It also informs the house’s work ethic, written in Latin and evidenced on Maison Trénel’s emblem: Bene Facit Id Quod Bene Amat, or “…we can only succeed at that which we know well, and love.”

In 2015 Maison Trénel was bought by M. CHAPOUTIER to renew focus on highlighting the differences between different vineyard sites and terroirs, the wines from Maison Trénel continue to reach even greater heights.

Vineyard and Winery

The “Crémant de Bourgogne A.O.C” was created in 1975 and covers the entire Burgundy wine region, from Chablis to the gates of Lyon. Crémants are produced using the traditional method: the still wine is bottled with yeasts and sugar, so as to go through a secondary fermentation.

Trénel’s Crémant de Bourgogne originates in the Côte Chalonnaise, from clay-limestone soils, perfect for the production of Chardonnay.

Age of Vines: Around 25 years
