Trenel Crmant 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. Its a gastronomic wine: round and very complex in the mouth.

About the Producer

Founded in 1928 by Henri Claudius Trnel, Maison Trnel 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 which are superbly situated and judiciously farmed. These vines consistently yield very high-quality fruit. For example, some of the vines for Trnels Beaujolais-Villages are upwards of 60 years of age.

Maison Trnel is guided by the principles of authenticity of fruit, and authenticity of terroir. The house has always strived to produce wines and 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 houses work ethic, written in Latin and evidenced on Maison Trnels emblem: Bene Facit Id Quod Bene Amat, or we can only succeed at that which we know well, and love.

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

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

Trnels Crmant de Bourgogne originates in the Cte Chalonnaise, from clay-limestone soils, perfect for the production of Chardonnay.
