Domaine Paul JANIN
Héritage red
- 2021
- Moulin à Vent
An emblematic estate of the Moulin à Vent appellation known in Beaujolais for being the one that, by the complexity and distinction of its wines, competes best with the pinot noir of the Côte d'Or. With 8 hectares of the best Moulin à Vent plots and very old vines (80 to 100 years old for the Heritage), Domaine Janin produces ambitious, structured, dense wines, at the crossroads between tradition and modernity, with excellent ageing potential without being too austere in their youth.
Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.
Well done! A double success for Éric Janin, elected one of the winemakers to watch in 2024 by the Revue du Vin de France and named "domaine coup de cœur" by the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd'hui in April 2023.
Héritage is the domaine's cuvée de garde, made from 80 to 100-year-old vines grown in low goblets on weathered granite soil.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 95/100 “Having entered a slight phase of closure, Héritage nonetheless allows the depth of its aged vines to express themselves. The nose is discreet but profound, with a richness of fruit and flowers. The palate is airy, with just the right amount of extraction and subtle tannins. It should keep well."

Les Vignes du Tremblay, a blend of several lieux-dits, is a cuvée for immediate pleasure, quickly accessible.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 95/100 “All lovers of great Beaujolais must have Les Vignes du Tremblay in their cellar: a quintessential Gamay, with defined fruit and a quality of tannin worthy of the best moulin-à-vent.”

Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (November 2024): 19/20 “This is a great wine from very old vines, refined and with long ageing potential, with a dress like a grand couturier, deep, noble aromas of black fruits, roses and violets... [...] ‘A great Burgundy vintage’, concludes one taster."

An emblematic estate in the Moulin à Vent appellation, known for the complexity and distinction of its wines, which best rival the Pinot Noirs of the Côte d'Or. With 8 hectares of the best plots and very old vines (80 to 100 years old for the Héritage), Domaine Janin makes ambitious, structured, dense wines, at the crossroads between tradition and modernity, with excellent ageing potential without being too austere when young.
Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

The rare cuvée parcellaire Les Greneriers, produced only in the best years, comes from the historic heart of the estate: century-old vines, deep granite soil and tiny yields (20hl/ha).
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (November 2024): 18/20 “Aromas still discreet, but rich and above all refined, precise, with ripe black fruits, floral notes... Concentrated, juicy, greedy, elegant palate, with velvety tannins, generous fruit, superb persistence and lots of class.”
