Trénel produces a broad range of wines from Beaujolais and Mâconnais. The most severe selection is required for each appelation as well as permanent contact with the winegrower, in order to keep only the best. The Beaujolais wines, for example, can be distinguished by their body and richness. Emphasis is placed on the extraction and the ageing potential during maturation in our cellars. These full and rich wines have taken all that they could from the best grapes.
The House of Trenel was created by Claude-Henri Trenel in 1928. Thanks to André Trénel, his son, it has become a real and respected reference in all good restaurants, whether in France or abroad.
This experienced man built the House of Trénel with hard work and sheer force of willpower. It has retained the print of its quality requirements as well as the specifics, which made it well known: its ranges of Crus du Beaujolais, its wines from the Mâconnais and its fine fruit liqueurs from Burgundy.
