Jane Eyre Pommard 1er Cru Rouge 2023

"On my first visit I tried the two components separately and the blend, which I preferred then, confirmed again on retasting in bottle subsequently. The Arvelets on its own was on the under-ripe side while the Clos Blanc need a touch more energy. The blend is much better than either because the Clos Blanc fills out the middle while the Arvelets gives the class of Jane Eyre’s style. No more than ruby in colour, with very perfumed alpine strawberries, with some extra weight behind. Indeed, this muscles up quite nicely at the back. Tasted Dec 2024. 92 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.

New wine, no new oak, 15% whole bunch. Medium ruby in colour, with dark cherries, pot puri and musk notes on the nose. On the palate the dark rustic fruit has medium bodied weight with good persistence. I felt overall it was a touch shy to reveal itself and would definitely benefit from some medium term cellaring to show at its absolute best. Ian Cook, FWC.

The colour is dark ruby. The nose reveals notes of cherry, dusty roses and spice. On the palate, the wine has flavours of cherries and spice that leads into elegant, lingering tannins. Drink 2026-2036. Jane Eyre.
