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.
Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Dugat-Py 2018
Dugat-Py’s 2018 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes is a wine that struts rather than strolls – generous, layered and heady with spiced dark fruit, rose petals, and a touch of incense. The old vines bring serious concentration, while the 2018 vintage adds warmth and opulence. The palate is plush yet controlled, the tannins fine-grained, and there’s that tell-tale Vosne exoticism humming in the background – think silk and spice in equal measure. Dugat-Py are modern legends in Gevrey-Chambertin, producing some of the most powerful, age-worthy wines in Burgundy. A small family estate with a fierce reputation, they work with very old vines and farm organically.
