About Domaine Trenel Julienas Les Capitans
There’s power here, but it’s not showy—it’s poised and quietly confident. This isn’t a bottle for Tuesday night, this is a Beaujolais with serious ambition—and one to watch. Sourced from incredibly old vines—some over 100 years old—and grown in one of Juliénas' most iconic sites, this wine is dark, brooding, and built to last. It opens with rich black fruits, earthy tobacco, and a lick of liquorice, all wrapped up in that signature Gamay softness.
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.
