Paul Janin et Fils “Empreinte” Moulin-ì-Vent AOP 2021 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Paul Janin et Fils South of Burgundy, in Romanèche-Thorins, comes the Moulin-ì-Vent AOC Empreinte by Paul Janin et Fils, a red wine that tells the story of a unique territory and a noble and little-known grape variety. We are talking about Gamay, which in this case ripens on highly degraded granite soils, foothills and ancient alluvium. A geological mosaic that gives the wine minerality and complexity. The vineyards, with an average age of around 30 years, are divided into three carefully selected plots, where nature reigns supreme. The philosophy of Paul Janin et Fils is based on painstaking work in the vineyard. Each bunch is carefully selected to ensure maximum quality. The yield is deliberately low, with only 20 hectolitres per hectare, in order to concentrate the grapes as much as possible and obtain a wine of great character. Vinification is carried out using artisanal methods, respecting the integrity of the fruit. Spontaneous fermentation and light carbonic maceration enhance the fruity and floral aromas of Gamay, while ageing in French oak barrels gives the wine elegance and complexity. On the nose, this red wine offers an intriguing bouquet of ripe red fruits, sweet spices and mineral notes. In the mouth, elegant tannins and a lingering finish. A wine of great finesse that captivates with its complexity and harmony. A versatile wine, it pairs perfectly with a wide variety of dishes. Perfect with red meat, game and mature cheeses. Also try it with savoury first courses, such as mushroom risottos or pasta with game ragout.
