Janin's chief cuvée, Les Vignes du Tremblay, is crafted from a blend of parcels in and around the historical Tremblay climat of Moulin-à-Vent. Since the 2012 vintage, this wine has been lifted to another level by the inclusion of Janin's 1.1-hectare of old vines in Les Greneriers, the bulk of which were planted before 1914. This exceptional old vine fruit joins a roster of vineyards that include Champ de Cour, Brusselions, Perelles and Aux Caves (each vinified separately). These plots cover a myriad of soil types and aspects but we can generalise and say that, for the most part, the vines are rooted in the pinkish granitic sands of the region (that lie under the famous windmill). This wine is fermented and vinified in a mix of concrete and steel tank, with 90% whole bunches. The old vine concentration is immediately apparent with the lifted aromatics of plums and anise and the plump, fleshy, surprisingly open palate. Janin told us he is now punching down less so as to have a more gentle extraction and it shows here in the wine's flesh and accessibility. Delicious.
