Beaujolais is famous for Gamay, which makes this Chardonnay the quiet surprise of the range. Sylvère Trichard and Mathilde Sothier farm around ten hectares at Blacé, almost all of it Gamay, with only tiny plantings of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir alongside. Everything is organic and biodynamic, and the wine is fermented with its own yeasts and raised without fining, filtration or added sulphur. Savoury and textural rather than showy, with ample acidity and a creamy thread running underneath. A white that rewards a proper glass and a little time.

Pairing Suggestions

Pour it when you want something with more to say than the first sip suggests.
Steamed fish, or chicken rice with the chilli kept on the side.
Roast poultry, soft cheeses, or a mushroom risotto.

About Séléné

In 2012 Sylvère Trichard took over the vineyard that grandparents established in 1955 near Blacé in Beaujolais. The vines on the vineyard are between 20 and 80 years old and planted on sandy clay soils over granite. The vineyard has been converted by his uncle to operate biodynamic since 2000, and Sylvère aims to continue this vision.
The wines are fermented with native yeasts, no additives and all reds undergo carbonic maceration.
The ageing process predominantly occurs in concrete vats, except for the cherished plot of his grandmother—the oldest vines. These vines are selected for a cuvée dedicated to her and undergo ageing in traditional old barrels.
