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 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, includes 30% whole bunch from the north part of the appellation. It has a well-defined bouquet with floral, rose-petal scents permeating the red berry fruit. The palate is medium bodied with fresh black cherry and bilberry notes, a nice touch of salinity towards the finish. Delightful. Enjoy this over the next five to eight years." Neal Martin
Food Pairing
Grilled pork sausages; semi-soft French cheese; charcuterie; autumn stews with fresh herbs.
