"Our first (Burgundy) white from Jane, hailing from parcels in Meursault and Puligny Montrachet. Zesty and slightly smoky, with grapefruit and green and red apples. A chalky drive, with real verve from initial saline, citrus attack to intense, lively core right down to the crunchy finish. All about energy rather than mass." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru Last year we visited Jane in her former shared premises in Bligny, but 2021 has rung in the changes. As well as being awarded a second star by La Revue du Vin de France (a sort of Michelin equivalent for winemakers) and then winning their coveted ‘winemaker of the year’ (first woman and first foreigner to do so), Jane has now moved operations to new premises across and along from Volnay in Cissey.
