Côtes De Nuits Villages, Jane Eyre 2021
"100% destemmed this year, Jane made only four barrels rather than her usual ten and used no new oak. Inky blue and red berries nose, with a touch of Christmas spice. Pure and focussed on the palate, packed with bright red fruits, that form a supple pastille core. No lack of depth or weight here. A great start to the line-up." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru 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.
Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Georges Lignier et Fils 2020
Founded over hundred years ago, Georges Lignier has some of the greatest vineyards in and around Morey-Saint-Denis. Jasper Morris observes " one of the strengths of the 16ha domaine is to have mature vineyards… replanted systematically in the 1950s with good vine material, not clones. " The domaine is led by Benoit Stehly, nephew of Georges Lignier, who worked for a decade alongside his uncle, before assuming control of the work in both the vineyard and the cellar in 2008. Benoit's 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis has very good aging potential and will reward those who cellar it with increased complexity and depth
