Jane Eyre
Burgundy’s next generation of talent isn’t necessarily Burgundy-born. Sometimes the breath of fresh air tradition needs can come from the other side of the world. Australian-born Jane Eyre joined her first harvest in Burgundy in 1998; the rest as is said is history. After a series of stages with lauded names such as Ernst Loosen in Germany’s Mosel and Frédéric Mugnier in Chambolle-Musigny she began in 2011 making her own wines as a micro-négociant sharing winery space with no other than Dominique Lafon. With a style that recalls the elegance and intensity of fine Burgundy from the sisters Mugneret Jane Eyre’s natural touch is both inspiring and irresistible. Crafted in limited quantities and by hand her wines capture the pure fruit and mineral essence of classically styled Burgundian grapes.
Description
"The 2020 Côte de Nuits Village includes 40-50% whole bunch has a well-defined nose with brambly red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy redcurrant and cranberry fruit with a pleasant sour cherry note on the finish. Fine." Neal Martin
Food Pairing
A great partner for poultry dishes, especially duck or turkey, but will also stand up to red meats and feathered game.
