Bursting with morello cherry fruit and a note of vanilla and nutmeg, then a whiff of bacon fat and woodsmoke, and more dry spices. The palate has an unexpected florality – violets mostly, and a hit of kirsch backed by peppery tannins.

Gentle extraction and judicious use of new oak means these have been among the more immediately appealing Burgundies in our portfolio. The 2018 vintage however has clearly stamped its imprint over Jane’s wines as there is greater power, deeper fruit and gravitas allied to the usual charm and definition. Her decision to include 30% whole bunches (as opposed to none last year) has given the wines extra depth and complexity to balance the ripe fruit.

Jane Eyre

Burgundy’s next generation of talent isn’t necessarily Burgundy-born. Sometimes the breath of fresh air tradition needs can come from the other side of the world. Australian-born Jane Eyre joined her first harvest in Burgundy in 1998; the rest as is said is history. After a series of stages with lauded names such as Ernst Loosen in Germany’s Mosel and Frédéric Mugnier in Chambolle-Musigny she began in 2011 making her own wines as a micro-négociant sharing winery space with no other than Dominique Lafon. With a style that recalls the elegance and intensity of fine Burgundy from the sisters Mugneret Jane Eyre’s natural touch is both inspiring and irresistible. Crafted in limited quantities and by hand her wines capture the pure fruit and mineral essence of classically styled Burgundian grapes.
