Domaine Trenel Morgon Cote du Py

This is my top pick from the Trenel range.

This is Beaujolais, but not as you know it. From the iconic Côte du Py hillside in Morgon, this is grown-up Beaujolais—intense, structured, and brimming with depth. It pours a rich ruby red and hits you straight away with ripe raspberry, black cherry, and a lovely earthy, mineral twist—think crushed flint and a hint of ink. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and spicy (hello, black pepper and clove), but what I love most is its balance—big and bold, but also incredibly elegant.

Trenel is everything I love about Beaujolais—pure, juicy Gamay with real soul. This is a family-run producer that’s been doing things properly for generations, making wines that are all about freshness, vibrancy, and drinkability. Their focus is on terroir, and it shows—each bottle feels like a little postcard from the rolling hills of southern Burgundy. Whether it’s their silky Beaujolais-Villages or something a bit more serious from Morgon or Fleurie, Trénel always brings the goods. Delicious with a chill, dangerously easy to drink, and absolutely what you want on your table right now.
