Domaine Séléné, whose name is a reference to the Greek goddess of the moon, was taken over in 2012 by Sylvère Trichard and her partner. The name is clear with its intentions: the important thing is to highlight nature and all its elements, whether terrestrial or extraterrestrial, to offer the purest wines, with the least human intervention.
Sylvère Trichard cultivates 4 hectares of certified organic and biodynamic vineyards in the heart of Blacé. The estate is called Séléné, and the work is carried out following the lunar cycle. In the vineyard, attention and care are important. The vines evolve in an ecosystem that includes insects, fruit trees, and sheep… In the cellar, the aim is to have as little intervention as possible so that the wine follows its natural cycle. No inputs are added, with the exception of a small amount of sulphur during bottling.
The wines are light, fresh, fruity, respecting the terroir, the winegrower and the consumer.

Renowned as a very old grape variety, Gamay is a descendant of Pinot Noir, just like Chardonnay and Aligoté. The Beaujolais Villages stretch across the northernmost part of the region, covering some 38 different communes. The Gamay vines, at an altitude of 200–500 metres and averaging 60 years, benefit from perfect east-south-east exposure on sandy-clay-loam soils. Committed to preserving the precious terroir she loves so much, the estate’s winemaker quickly adopted organic methods, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The harvested grapes are vinified following traditional methods in whole bunches. The wines are then matured in vats (50%) and oak barrels (50%).
The cherry-red colour reveals a nose characterised by aromas of red fruit combined with floral notes. The elegant and harmonious palate displays supple tannins supported by a beautiful acidity, culminating in a persistent slightly spicy finish.
