Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Avaux', Jane Eyre 2021
Jane observes that " a year in a barrel does amazing things ". The very concentrated 2020s (" like Barossa shiraz " she quips) have softened and developed brighter perfumes and elegance, and the lighter 2021s have fleshed out, increasing in intensity and are " matier " or more substantial. " They needed time to grow " which provides even more excitement for this tight and fragrant 2021 vintage. Jane draws the comparison with 2007, a lighter weight vintage which initially went under the radar but has aged extremely well and rather longer than was expected, now providing very fine and harmonious drinking across a number of domaines.
Bodega El Reventón, San Gregorio 2023
Together with Catena Zapata’s renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil - her partner at El Enemigo - and Honest Grapes club member Gearóid Lane, Adrianna purchased the revered El Reventón vineyard from cult producer Comando G. San Gregorio is a single-vineyard red made from old-vine Garnacha grown at altitude, where cool nights and thin, sandy soils strip the variety of its jammy tendencies and leave something much more interesting in their place. Think Pinot Noir's delicacy crossed with the herbal, stony character that Gredos does like nowhere else in Spain. The 2023 is fresh, precise, and drinking well already. Red cherry, wild thyme, and a chalky mineral pull on the finish make it compelling now with a light chill and good company.
