Domaine Paul Janin et Fils

Domaine Paul Janin et Fils was founded by Paul Janin, a very discreet winemaker who began exporting his production in the 1970s and entered the French market in 1975. The Domaine Paul Janin et Fils vineyard now covers 10 hectares spread across two appellations. In Beaujolais-Villages, the "Domaine des Vignes des Jumeaux" comes from 2 hectares of vines planted on the edge of the hillsides, on clay-granite soil. In Moulin-à-Vent, the "Clos du Tremblay," the "Domaine des Vignes du Tremblay," and the "Séduction" cuvée are produced from 8 hectares of vineyard plots located within the appellation. Most of the vineyards are south-facing. The soils are mainly sandstone with alternating layers of sand and/or red clay known as "bariolées."

Domaine Paul Janin et Fils strives to cultivate its vines as healthily as possible and was certified HVE 3 in 2018. The soils are plowed deeply on a regular basis. Green harvesting is only carried out when necessary, as the estate favors pruning and debudding to regulate and control its yields. Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted one by one. Two sorting tables operate continuously during the harvest period. Pressing is carried out as gently as possible to retain only the finest and most noble tannins. The wines are aged for 8 to 10 months, depending on the cuvée. Although the methods used by Domaine Paul Janin et Fils remain traditional, they nevertheless ensure consistent quality in the wines produced.
