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
What the critics say:
"The Santenay grapes come from the top of the slope, on very stony soil. Mid lemon yellow. Apple and bacon fat. Otherwise lemon and lime notes throughout, indicating lesser ripeness, but I think this will come out very well. Good persistence. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: October 2023."
