Domaine Maxime Troncy - Beaujolais Oppidum 2018
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“ Favorite the previous Guide for his 2017 Chassignol Moulin-à-Vent, Maxime Troncy reaffirms his (very) strong potential and produces a ‘simple’ Beaujolais that is anything but simplistic. This cuvée comes from venerable 70-year-old vines planted on a hill that once housed a Roman oppidum. After 8 months of aging in oak barrels, it unfolds intense and generous aromas of black fruits, sweet spices, toasty notes, and Zan. On the palate? Volume, concentration, body, and velvety tannins enveloped by ripe fruit and well-integrated oak. Character. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

About the wine:
Favorite the previous Guide for his 2017 Chassignol windmill wine, Maxime Troncy reaffirms his (very) strong potential and produces a “simple” Beaujolais that is anything but simplistic. This cuvée comes from venerable 70-year-old vines planted on a hill that once housed a Roman oppidum. After 8 months of aging in oak barrels, it unfolds intense and generous aromas of black fruit, sweet spices, toasty notes, and Zan. On the palate? Full-bodied, concentrated, and rich, with velvety tannins enveloped by ripe fruit and well-integrated oak. Full of character.
About the estate:
Maxime Troncy, a young winemaker, established his vineyard in 2013. He produces Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, and several cuvées of red Beaujolais, among other wines. He began the transition to organic farming on his 10 ha in 2019.
