Ripe Red Cherries, Crushed Peonies, Silky Tannins, and Premier Cru Avaux Grace

The 2022 Jane Eyre Beaune 1er Cru "Les Avaux" is an enticing, beautifully balanced Pinot Noir showing the generous elegance of this sunny vintage. It reveals expressive aromas of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, crushed peonies, and subtle baking spice. Medium-bodied and supple, it blankets the palate with succulent red berry fruit supported by velvety, fine-grained tannins and vibrant limestone freshness, finishing long, perfumed, and mineral-etched.

Critical Recognition

Jasper Morris MW 91 pts
  • 91 Points - Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy): In bottle, just before the harvest, the last vintage before pulling out the vines. 30% whole bunch. One new barrel out of ten. Pale crimson in colour, while the nose has a supreme elegance. This has an intensity belied by the lightness of touch, fresh deep cherry fruit, a savoury note but with a coherent elegance throughout. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted Oct 2023 by Jasper Morris MW.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from "Les Avaux," an amphitheater-shaped Premier Cru climat situated in the southern sector of Beaune, celebrated for producing open, seductive, and intensely aromatic wines.
  • Grown on stony, well-draining clay-limestone soils that naturally balance vine vigor, yielding concentrated fruit paired with a clean, savory mineral foundation.
  • Crafted by micro-négociant Jane Eyre, utilizing minimal extraction, spontaneous native yeast fermentation, and partial whole clusters to maintain purity, transparency, and aromatic lift.
  • Matured for roughly 12 to 14 months in fine-grained French oak barrels with modest new wood usage (~15–20%) to build textural refinement without masking terroir character.
  • From the solar and generously ripe 2022 vintage; pairs generous red fruit density with fine structural tension, drinking gracefully now through 2036+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, translucent ruby with crimson highlights, it opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and dark plums, accented by crushed peonies, rose petals, sweet forest floor, and a dusting of baking spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, velvety, and supple, delivering succulent red-to-dark fruit framed by fine, powdery tannins and vibrant balancing acidity, concluding on a long, harmonious, and delicately chalky-mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 14–16°C in generous Burgundy balloon stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 20 to 30 minutes of aeration in the glass to allow its floral aromatics and red berry core to open; pairs wonderfully with roasted pigeon or squab, pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction, roasted veal chops, or mature Comté. Optimal drinking window now through 2036+.
