Kahil chez Mme Maurisset
Moulin-à-Vent is the most highly rated of all the Beaujolais crus, though it is not named after and village in the area and is spread over the communes of Romanèche-Thorins and Chénas. It arguably produces the most age-worthy Gamay offerings, due to the spicy, firm backbone the wines possess.
In the hands of the father and son team of Paul and Eric Janin, winemakers of impeccable probity and talent, this domaine continues to produce the very best that Moulin-à-Vent can offer.
The soils, with crumbly pink granite and rich in manganese, give their wines a spicy, individual character but this does not undermine their elegance and refinement. Vintage after vintage, the Janin wines do not miss a beat.
