Jane Eyre the delicacy of Pinot d`émotion

Jane Eyre has become one of my favourite vignerons, producing a beautiful lineup of negociant wines from Burgundy, Beaujolais and even Australia.

Jane always seems to capture the beauty of the Pinot. Slightly fragile, the perfumed note that turns a Pinot Noir into a Pinot d’émotion. It’s some time in the detail to create these beauties, but when they sing … then the Winehog is sold.

This time, my Mini brought me … more pleasantly than my rainy drive on the Vespa two years back. This place has fond memories … yes, I do like visiting this estate and Jane Eyre.

As I wrote last time …

“Meeting Jane is a cheerful experience, as she, like her wines, is a charming and expressive person. She has the Aussie straightforwardness that I like, mixed with a Norwegian delicacy that is unexpected. Her wines have the same elements in good balance, and a sensual delicacy that is quite surprising – to me at least.”.

So back to taste more …

Jane Eyre’s history

Jane comes from Australia, but has Norwegian ancestry. She has been in Burgundy for almost 25 years, so while perhaps not quite Burgundian, she’s certainly more so than the Winehog. The wines are Burgundian by heart and brain … not much Aussie style here (if there is such a thing) … nevertheless, I consider the style of wines as Burgundian … and a good one at that.
