Pouilly Fuissé - AOC - Domaine Trénel - 2023

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs perfectly with delicate and flavorful dishes without excessive richness. It harmonizes beautifully with seafood such as grilled sea bass or sea bream fillet, pan-seared scallops, roasted prawns, or salmon topped with a light lemon butter sauce.

Vintage: 2023

Taste: The nose opens with a clean and generous aromatic expression, marked by ripe citrus, crisp yellow apple, and juicy pear, enhanced by delicate notes of white flowers. On the palate, the attack is lively and precise, driven by immediate freshness. The texture is elegant and subtly rounded, structured around vibrant energy. The mid-palate gains intensity while maintaining great purity. Fruity aromas intertwine with a structuring mineral backbone. The long, slightly saline finish extends the citrus and white flower notes, with a delicate hint of almond.

The Estate and the Vineyard

Maison Trenel is a historic and respected wine merchant house based in Charnay-lès-Mâcon in the southern Mâconnais (Burgundy). It was founded in 1928 by Henri Claudius Trénel, originally specializing in fruit liqueurs and artisanal cordials before quickly turning to the purchase and vinification of grapes sourced from carefully selected terroirs.

With nearly a century of experience, the house has built its reputation on wines that faithfully reflect the authenticity of both fruit and terroir. Its vineyards are ideally situated on clay-limestone and stony soils, particularly around the famous Roche de Solutré, which lends the wines a distinctive minerality and natural elegance.

Since 2015, Maison Trenel has been part of the Michel Chapoutier group, while retaining its autonomy and unique identity. This partnership has further strengthened the focus on precise winemaking and overall wine quality.

Today, the house produces a complete range of white and red wines from the Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions — from Mâcon-Villages and Saint-Véran to more gastronomic expressions such as Pouilly-Fuissé — combining Burgundian tradition, respect for terroir, and a clear, refined aromatic expression.
