Critical Recognition

James Suckling 91 pts
  • 91 Points - James Suckling: This has a salty, flinty freshness to the apricot, butter and lemon-curd aromas and flavors. It offers lovely texture and crisp acidity, finishing with vibrant energy.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from carefully selected vineyards situated above the village of Santenay in the southern Côte de Beaune.
  • The higher altitude of the parcels helps preserve crucial natural acidity, yielding a wine with tension and precision.
  • Grown on classic limestone and marl soils that naturally impart a striking, saline minerality and structural cut.
  • Crafted using traditional Burgundian techniques, including gentle pressing and aging in French oak barrels to build texture without masking the fruit.
  • The 2022 vintage provided beautifully ripe, concentrated fruit that Jane Eyre expertly balanced with vibrant, zesty freshness.

Tasting Notes

Pours a bright, pale lemon-gold in the glass. The nose is highly aromatic, defined immediately by a salty, flinty freshness that gracefully yields to inviting notes of ripe apricot, lemon curd, and a touch of sweet cream butter. On the palate, it exhibits a beautifully textured, generous mouthfeel that is perfectly countered by zesty, mouth-watering acidity. The finish is remarkably long and energetic, leaving a lingering impression of salted lemon and crushed-stone minerality.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 50–54°F (10–12°C) in a wide-bowled Chardonnay glass to highlight its aromatic complexity and textural richness.
  • Decanting: Not strictly necessary, but 15 minutes of air will help the flinty reduction dissipate. Pairs beautifully with seared scallops, roast chicken, or a creamy mushroom risotto. Enjoy from 2024 through 2030.
