Corton Grand Cru, Jane Eyre, (Magnum) 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 Premier Cru 'Aux Malconsorts', Domaine de Montille 2023
"Bordering the iconic Grand Cru La Tâche, this wine benefits from 50-year-old vines in clay and stony soils. Two-thirds whole cluster fermentation and 40% new oak result in complex aromas of soft red fruit, floral and spice notes, and a precise, angular palate of dark cherries and plums." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
