Pommard, 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 new addition to the lineup, this biodynamic Pommard leans toward a Volnay style with its bright red fruit profile. Crunchy wild strawberries and cassis dominate, with a hint of white pepper and fine, grippy tannins. No new oak ensures purity and freshness." 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.
Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru 'Aux Vergelesses', Jane Eyre 2021
Savigny-lès-Beaune doesn't always get the headlines it deserves, sitting quietly in Burgundy's shadow while its neighbours in Pommard and Volnay collect the glory. That's rather their loss. Aux Vergelesses is one of the village's finest premier cru sites, a north-facing slope on the Pernand-Vergelesses border where the limestone-rich soils and cooler exposure push Pinot Noir towards something more structured and mineral than the plush, giving style you find elsewhere in the Côte de Beaune. Jane Eyre's 2021 is a wine that earns its keep through detail rather than volume. The 2021 vintage was a difficult one — frost, mildew, small yields — but those who farmed carefully and sorted ruthlessly made wines of real precision and energy. This has the hallmarks: bright, focused fruit with genuine grip and a saline, chalky thread running through the finish.
