Jane Eyre - Australia's Prized Micro-Negociant in Burgundy

by Hugh French | May 20, 2022
 

 

Jane Eyre

 

 

 

Since leaving Australia for France in 1998, Jane Eyre has carved out her place in Burgundy, working under Dominique Lafon, forging alliances with Benjamin Leroux and being crowned negociant of the year in 2020 by influential French wine magazine, La Revue du Vin de France. Now with over 20 years of experience in Burgundy, Jane has hit her stride in making beautiful wines from the region.

Jane's 2020 vintage Beaujolais and Burgundies are a delight and dramatically highlight her ability to craft intense wines of complexity and elegance. However, as a micro-negociant, the production of these wines is minimal and they won't hand around for long. Order yours now to avoid missing out.

2020 Bourgogne Blanc
Usually $84 - Special Offer $79

The 2020 Bourgogne Blanc is half Puligny and half Meursault with 10% new oak. Bottled in August, it has an attractive pear and orange pith scented bouquet. The palate is balanced, quite primal with grapefruit and pear, fine acidity with a short but fresh nutty finish.

2020 Fleurie
Usually $75 - Special Offer $71

Bottled in July having been matured without wood. 100% whole bunch, a mix of 30 and 100 year old vines in Labourons. Lively fresh mid purple. Some cheesy notes but this is a bright fresh gamay. Suggestion of a pyrazine but it is the stalks speaking. Middle weight.

2020 Gevrey-Chambertin
Usually $169 - Special Offer $159

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

2020Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Les Corbeaux'
Usually $319 - Special Offer $299

Two barrels made with 50% whole bunch vinification and no new wood, the grapes coming from the upper part of Corbeaux adjacent to Mazis-Chambertin. Very intense purple with a richer bouquet, sweetly sensual rather than the more refined style of some Corbeaux, but with enough acidity behind to keep it on the straight and narrow. Minerals emerge to finish

2020 Corton Grand Cru
Usually $479 - Special Offer $449

The 2020 Corton Grand Cru is a blend of Bressandes, Perrière and Maréchaude with 50% whole bunch. It has a wonderful bouquet, so pretty with sparkling red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, a touch of orange sorbet. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, taut and fresh, very prices with a mineral-driven finish. I doubt that a former hairdresser has ever made such a delicious and classy Corton. Just three barrels made.
