Maison Trénel Wines

Maison Trénel is one of the most iconic wine houses in southern Burgundy, founded in 1928 by Henri Claudius Trénel in Charnay-les-Mâcon. For nearly a century, the maison has upheld an unwavering philosophy: to craft honest wines that faithfully express the character of each plot and the authenticity of its terroir. In 2015, Maison Trénel was acquired by Michel Chapoutier, the renowned winemaking family from the Rhône Valley, becoming part of the Chapoutier group. Under this new stewardship, the maison has deepened its artisanal commitment and its attention to the nuances between individual vineyard sites, bringing its wines to ever greater heights of international recognition. Trénel's work focuses on the Gamay and Chardonnay varieties, the defining grapes of southern Burgundy and northern Rhône. The house is an undisputed reference in Beaujolais, producing no fewer than seven of the ten recognised Beaujolais Crus. Among its most celebrated wines is the Crémant de Bourgogne, sourced from the subregion where Chardonnay finds its finest expression, with a ageing period three times longer than required by the appellation rules. The portfolio also includes Saint-Véran, Mâcon-Charnay Clos de Champgrenon, Viré-Clessé and Morgon, covering a broad spectrum of Burgundian appellations. Beyond its wines, Trénel is also renowned for its artisanal production of Burgundy fruit liqueurs, most notably an exceptional IGP Crème de Cassis widely regarded as one of the finest in the world. Authenticity of fruit, respect for the vineyard and pure expression of origin are the guiding principles behind every wine crafted at Maison Trénel, making it an essential reference for lovers of great Burgundy and Beaujolais.
