Corton Grand Cru, Jane Eyre 2023
The 2023 vintage at Jane Eyre Wines continues the tradition of producing refined and expressive wines with hallmark precision. Like 2022, 2023 was shaped by a warm growing season, but with the significant difference of ample rainfall when needed, keeping the soils well-nourished. The reds display lovely perfume, aromatics, and depth—qualities Jane prioritises in her Pinot Noirs—while the whites, after a slower start, have blossomed into vibrant, expressive examples of the vintage. "A standout, made from two exceptional parcels, this wine showcases a deep nose of morello cherries and violets. The palate is rich yet fresh, with harmonious red and blue fruit, fine tannins, and a savoury finish. Whole-bunch fermentation (70%) lends complexity, while no new oak keeps the focus on pure fruit expression." Our note Jane’s use of whole-cluster fermentation increased in 2023, coupled with colder soaks at the start of fermentation. This approach has resulted in wines with richer colours and enhanced complexity. While the vintage is already showing expressive youthful charm, it also holds great potential for aging, making 2023 both approachable and collectible. The wines evolve quickly, offering fresh insights with each tasting.
JCP Maltus, Le Dôme 2021
Le Dôme from JCP Maltus represents the pinnacle of Saint-Émilion winemaking, offering luxurious and opulent wines that showcase the unique limestone terroir of the appellation. With 96 points, Jonathan Maltus’ 2021 vintage received Jane Anson’s second highest rating of the vintage (just one point off leaders Figeac and La Mission Haut Brion), equalling Lafite, Lafleur and Cheval Blanc, and ahead of Petrus, Mouton, Margaux, Mouton, Haut Brion and Ausone! All of which are least double the price, some triple the price or more. Another fan, Jeb Dunnuck, writes how “ Gorgeous cassis fruits, notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, and chalky minerality, medium to full body, and beautiful tannins all define this beauty ”, whilst Decanter’s Georgina Hindle calls it “ Classy stuff - and one of the wines from 2021 I'd like to own! ”. With its distinctive 80% Cabernet Franc, and the guidance of superstar consultant Thomas Duclos (responsible for the renaissance of fellow Saint Emilion properties Canon, Troplong Mondot and Beaséjour Becot), Le Dôme is on an exciting trajectory.
