Côtes De Nuits Villages, Jane Eyre 2020
"This is a confident start to the range, the wine inky purple in the glass, and vibrant aromas of juniper, some graphite and morning quarry, plus ripe and spicy red fruits too. The palate shows darker, deeper berry fruits, which are juicy, rich and chocolatey, seriously intense, but fresh too with a spicy edge to the tannins and acidity to match. From two parcels in Comblanchien, using 45% wholes bunches and aged in five hundred litre barrels." Tom, Head Wine Guru We have a slightly more limited range to offer you from 2020 as several of Jane's contracts were not renewed this year (including the Chassagne Montrachet and Santenay 1er Cru) and overall yields were down. However what is lacking in quantity is more than made up for in quality. Jane began the harvest on 27th August, later than some, but there is no lack of freshness or tension in the wines. They are certainly rich and definitely age-worthy, but still show her trademark supple tannins, perfumed fruit and approachability.
Savigny-lès-Beaune 'Les Bas Liards', Domaine d'Alussia 2023
An address on a new trajectory and definitely a name to watch - we are excited to introduce Domaine d'Alussia for the first time to Honest Grapes club members. Winemaker Alexandra Wilson joined the domaine in August 2024, bringing valuable experience from her time with Benjamin Leroux and, before that, fellow Australian winemaker Jane Eyre. The team also benefits from the expertise of Bernard Zito, a renowned consultant and specialist in organic and biodynamic viticulture, aptly described by Winehog's Steen Öhman as “The Swiss Army knife of the Burgundy wine world.” "Like our Aux Montagnes, the vinification of Bas Liards took place in 1000L wooden vats for alcoholic fermentation and then pressed to barrel (30% new) for èlèvage. The fruit comes from biodynamically farmed 50yro vines at the base of the foothills in Savigny. Lifted and floral, it’s a classic example of Savigny Pinot Noir. A beautiful density and fruit weight to the palate of this wine. Fruit-forward with blood plum, blood orange, and red berries. Its fine sandy tannins and elegance lends itself to an early drinking style with ageability." Winemaker's note The domaine combines its own vineyards with contracts from trusted growers, offering a diverse range of wines. Notable holdings include a vineyard in Aloxe-Corton near the winery and three Premier Cru sites: Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pommard, and a prized 0.3-hectare plot in Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Referts'.
