2022 Maison Trenel Beaujolais Blanc, Beaujolais, France

ABOUT THE WINE

The 2022 Maison Trenel Beaujolais Blanc is a carefully crafted white wine from one of Beaujolais’s respected family producers. Made primarily from Chardonnay grown on well‑drained, granitic and schist soils typical of this part of eastern France, the wine reflects both freshness and terroir expression. The nose opens with vibrant notes of lemon zest, green apple, pear and delicate white flowers. On the palate, crisp acidity and a light, refreshing texture carry flavors of citrus, quince and a chalky mineral core, leading to a bright, clean finish with subtle salinity. This wine’s youthful energy and balanced structure make it a perfect partner for fresh seafood, grilled fish, goat cheese, and light poultry dishes, as well as a splendid aperitif on warm afternoons.
