Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by Maison Trenel, a historic Beaujolais house with deep Burgundian roots, this wine comes from the famed Côte du Py hill in Morgon, widely considered the appellation’s most prestigious site.

The vineyards sit on decomposed schist soils, a defining feature that gives Morgon its signature minerality and structure—often described by the local term “morgonner,” meaning to take on a more Burgundian character over time.

Made from 100% Gamay Noir, the wine undergoes a careful maceration followed by aging in cement vats, preserving purity while allowing the terroir to dominate.

The 2021 vintage reflects a more classic, cooler profile, emphasizing freshness, precision, and structure over overt ripeness.
