Domain Paul Janin et Fils
Domain Paul Janin et Fils was founded by Paul Janin, a discreet winegrower who began exporting his production in the 1970s, and began targeting the French market in 1975. The vineyards of Domain Paul Janin et Fils now cover 10 hectares in 2 appellations. In Beaujolais-Villages, "Domain des Vignes des Jumeaux" comes from 2 hectares of vines planted on the edge of the slopes, on clay-granitic terroir. In Moulin-à-Vent, "Clos du Tremblay", "Domain des Vignes du Tremblay" and the "Séduction" cuvée are made from a combined 8 hectares of vines located within the appellation perimeter. Most of the vineyards are on south-facing slopes. The soils are predominantly sandstone, with alternating sand and/or variegated red clay on the surface.

Domain Paul Janin et Fils strives to cultivate its vines as healthily as possible and was certified HVE 3 in 2018. The soils are ploughed deep and regularly. Green harvesting is only carried out when necessary, as the estate favors pruning and disbudding to regulate and control its yields. Hand-picked, the bunches are sorted one by one. Two sorting tables are in constant operation during the harvest. Pressing is as gentle as possible, to retain only the finest, noblest tannins. The wines are aged for 8 to 10 months, depending on the cuvée. While the methods used by Domain Paul Janin et Fils remain classic, they nonetheless ensure that the quality of the wines offered remains constant.

"Structure and opulence

Having entered a slight phase of closure, Héritage still allows the depth of its aged vines to express themselves. The nose is discreet yet profound, with a richness of fruit and flowers. The palate is airy, with just the right amount of extraction and subtle tannins. Good cellaring potential awaits.

"The 2018 Chénas Les Blémonts is bursting with mouthwatering aromas of rose petals, raspberries, cherries and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with succulent acids and youthful, chewy tannins, this is a classic with character that will reward a year or two of bottle age."
