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.

What the critics say:

90-92/100Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"The crop has been matured in 3 x 228 and 1 x 350 litre barrels, the latter one year old. A palish crimson colour. The nose is really perfumed, this is a fine discreet Beaune with nonetheless a bit of fruit weight beneath. Pure and pretty with attractive cherry notes. Good but not trenchant acidity. Drink from 2025-2030. Tasted: October 2022."

OUR GROWERS

Jane Eyre

When we first met Jane in 2015, we were amazed to hear that her wines didn’t have a presence in the UK (with a name like Jane Eyre, how could we resist bringing her wines to the UK market?). It’s been a real pleasure to see how her reputation has grown with accompanied critical acclaim from luminaries such as Jancis Robinson, Tim Atkin, and Neal Martin. More recently she received her RVF second star and was also awarded Negociant of the Year 2020.
