HERITAGE 2021 (Domaine Paul JANIN & FILS)

VINE AGE: 100 years.

LOCATION: A blend of two plots, Les Greneriers & Les Burdelines, where the century-old vines of the Paul Janin & Fils estate are cultivated.

EXPOSURE: N/A.

GEOLOGY : A "primitive" granitic bedrock formed during the PALEOZOIC ERA, from -600 to -200 million years ago. This is an igneous rock resulting from the crystallization of unexpelled lava that cooled within the volcanic chamber.

• Les Greneriers: Weathered granitic bedrock.
  
  
• Les Burdelines: Soil more or less rich in red clays, silts, and sands covering the primary granitic bedrock.
  
  

"This is the 'Lord' cuvée of the estate. The winemaking method is strictly identical to the 'Les Vignes du Tremblay' blend, but only grapes from century-old vines are used. A beautiful way to understand the impact of vine age on the wine's organoleptic results: this cuvée is powerful, built for long cellaring, rich and concentrated—pure black fruit juice enhanced with a hint of menthol; it's magical. Don't hesitate to decant this wine all afternoon to allow it to reveal itself and let the charm work!"
