Jane Eyre’s Fleurie 2021 is a graceful and aromatic take on this classic Beaujolais cru, combining floral lift with succulent red fruit and a seamless, drink-anywhere texture.
The 2021 season gave the wine ripe, expressive fruit, yet Jane’s careful handling — including gentle whole-cluster work and thoughtful élevage — ensures freshness and vibrancy rather than weight.
Lively and food-friendly, this Fleurie is perfect with herb-roasted chicken, grilled sausages with caramelised onions, mushroom tart, or a charcuterie board featuring soft cheeses. Its floral fruit and fine structure make it as enjoyable on its own as it is at the table.

Vintage report
The 2021 vintage in Beaujolais arrived after a genuinely challenging growing season that kept vignerons on their toes from spring onwards. Early budbreak met with devastating frosts in April, followed by a cool, damp summer that had many producers worried about ripeness and disease pressure. September delivered salvation with warm, dry conditions that allowed the Gamay to ripen properly, though yields were significantly reduced across the region due to the earlier setbacks.
What emerged from this adversity were wines with lovely freshness and aromatic intensity – the cooler conditions preserved the bright red fruit character that makes Beaujolais so irresistible, whilst the lower yields concentrated flavours beautifully. The cru Beaujolais show particular promise, displaying more structure than the sometimes exuberant 2020s, with that classic combination of juicy fruit and mineral backbone. Most 2021s are drinking wonderfully now, offering immediate pleasure whilst the crus will reward patience over the next five to eight years.
