Trenel, Burgundy, France

Mâcon-Charnay Clos de Champgrenon 2022

White peach
Mango
Acacia blossom

White peach, a little mango and acacia blossom. It feels creamy but lively, with freshness keeping the mouthful moving. Time on the lees and in oak gives it extra substance. Pour a glass when friends settle in for the evening.

You'll notice the creamy feel, with freshness underneath it.

If you like creamy Chardonnay with some freshness, start here.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged on its lees in French oak.

Trénel: Burgundy roots, from the fruit to the place

Trénel began in Charnay-lès-Mâcon in 1928 as a family fruit-liqueur business, then moved into wine. André Trénel helped build the house’s reputation at home and abroad. Today, within the Chapoutier family’s wine world, its focus remains southern Burgundy and Beaujolais. Chardonnay, Gamay and their neighbours provide the material; the house’s guiding interest is the character of the fruit and the place it comes from.
