Santenay Blanc, Jane Eyre 2022
Whether crafting wines from the Côte-d'Or, Beaujolais, or her native Victoria, Jane's wines exude her distinct style—delicate and inviting, adorned with supple tannins and vibrant, luscious fruits. Through gentle extraction techniques, thoughtful oak usage, and early bottling, Jane has created Burgundies that are accessible and appealing even in their early stages. "Jane made ten barrels from this impressively elevated site, and in keeping with our surprise at the style of this supposedly “solar” vintage, alcohol only comes in at 12.5%. The combination of altitude, stony soils and early harvesting has ensured a wine with good tension and freshness. It was brought up in a mix of older, larger oak barrels and clayver ceramic eggs and the purity of the fruit is clearly expressed. Waxed apples and pears, and an almondine note round out stony, lime-inflected aromas and leads on to a lean, focussed citrus and verbena attack, backed by crunchy acidity." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
Santenay Blanc, 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 layered and textured wine aged in a ceramic egg, showcasing lemon rind, ripe citrus, and subtle honeyed nuances. The palate is long, with vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone, complemented by a restrained touch of oak (13%)." 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.
