Juliénas, Jane Eyre, 2021
Juliénas, Jane Eyre, 2021
- Red Still
- Gamay
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.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2030
