Domaine Paul Janin et Fils

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

Domaine 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 carried out only when necessary, with pruning and disbudding preferred to regulate and control 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 Domaine Paul Janin et Fils remain classic, they nonetheless ensure that the quality of the wines offered remains constant.
