owner of numerous wine estates in the northern and southern Rhone
has acquired Beaujolais negociant La Maison Trenel
Michel Chapoutier confirmed to Decanter.com that he has bought Trenel through his holding company MMC and not his main wine company M
meaning that the Trénel wines will continue trading under their original names
without any mention of Chapoutier on the labels
Chapoutier is president of the Rhone region’s wine trade body
with a new generation of dynamic winemakers
and we are very confident of being able to further develop this high quality négociant company,’ Chapoutier said
Maison Trenel was founded by Claude-Henri Trenel in 1928 and is based in Charnay-les-Macon
It is run today by Gilles Melmoun and sells a range of Beaujolais crus
