Tasting notes for the Fleurie 2017 - Maison Jane Eyre

  • EYE: The wine displays a brilliant ruby hue, sparkling under the light like a precious jewel, reflecting both its youth and depth.
  • NOSE: An enchanting floral bouquet intertwined with aromas of fresh red fruits, evoking a morning stroll in a blooming garden. Notes of juicy cherry and raspberry harmoniously mingle with nuances of rose petals and violet, adding a fragrant and elegant dimension.
  • MOUTH: This Fleurie offers a velvety texture that caresses the palate during the tasting. Red fruit flavors persist, with a dominance of crunchy cherry and wild berries. The wine's lively acidity brings a welcomed freshness, balancing the fruity richness. Light spicy notes and hints of damp earth add subtle complexity, while supple tannins ensure a soft and pleasant finish.

 

In short: The Fleurie 2017 from Maison Jane Eyre immediately captivates with its brilliant ruby hue. Its floral and fruity bouquet, reminiscent of the freshness of a blooming garden, unfolds on the nose. On the palate, its velvety texture is enlivened by vibrant acidity, offering flavors of cherry and wild berries, complemented by delicate spices. This wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, such as herbed roast chicken, tomato-based pasta dishes, sautéed mushrooms, charcuterie boards, and soft cheeses. Endowed with aging potential, it can be enjoyed over the next 3 to 5 years to fully appreciate its floral and fruity character.

French wine, as seen by an Australian

 

Jane Eyre used to be a hairstylist, back in Australia. When she was 27, she dreamt of another life, far from the boredom she felt every day. She always was a fan of wine but everything clicked the day she met the husband of one of her customers; a wine journalist. Jane decided to leave the country and headed straight for France, to help with the grape harvesting at the Domaine Chevrot (located on the Côte de Beaune). During an entire month, she worked in the vineyard and realized that she was made for this kind of life.

Once back home in Australia, Jane left her old job at the hair salon and began taking oenology lessons. For 5 years, she studied and practiced, and in 2004 she packed her suitcase and moved to France (Burgundy, to be precise). Jane Eyre worked in Beaune, at the Domaine Newman (owned by Chris Newman, an American winemaker), for a few years. After that, it was time for her to be truly independent. So, in 2011, after her humble beginnings, she created the Jane Eyre brand and tried to find her place in the little world of wine.

Slowly, thanks to her hard work and perseverance, her bottles started to pop up on a few prestigious restaurant tables, but her biggest achievement was in 2017. That year, the French wine magazine "La Revue des Vins de France" awarded her one star and elected her "Wine Trader of the Year". She was not only the first Australian winner, but also the first female winemaker to receive such an honor. Nowadays, Jane Eyre produces up to 20.000 bottles per year, in her small wine lab, located in the Château de Bligny. Jane’s wines are famous for their sweetness and refinement.
