Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2021
The history of Grand-Puy-Lacoste goes back to the 16th century and is fascinating in many ways. The name Grand-Puy, already mentioned in the Middle Ages, comes from the ancient term "puy" which means "hillock, small height". True to its name, the vineyard sits on the ground with Medoc's first growths. From Since the 16th century the property remained attached to a single family from generation to generation, before connecting with another family in 1978 - the Borie.
Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru 'Aux Vergelesses', Jane Eyre 2021
Savigny-lès-Beaune doesn't always get the headlines it deserves, sitting quietly in Burgundy's shadow while its neighbours in Pommard and Volnay collect the glory. That's rather their loss. Aux Vergelesses is one of the village's finest premier cru sites, a north-facing slope on the Pernand-Vergelesses border where the limestone-rich soils and cooler exposure push Pinot Noir towards something more structured and mineral than the plush, giving style you find elsewhere in the Côte de Beaune. Jane Eyre's 2021 is a wine that earns its keep through detail rather than volume. The 2021 vintage was a difficult one — frost, mildew, small yields — but those who farmed carefully and sorted ruthlessly made wines of real precision and energy. This has the hallmarks: bright, focused fruit with genuine grip and a saline, chalky thread running through the finish.
