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'.
Volnay Village, Jane Eyre 2017
Melbourne-born Jane Eyre-Renard, one of the pioneers of the growing micro-negotiant movement, continues her inexorable rise with a super set of 2017s, following on from her critically lauded 2016s. Based in Burgundy since 2003 she has paid her dues at some top domaines including de Montille and Comtes Lafon and still assists the winemaking at Domaine Newman, whilst making her own wines in a facility shared with Dominique Lafon. Her wines, whether from Beaune, Nuits, or Beaujolais, display her distinctive style - charming and inviting, with supple tannins and soft but bright fruits. Gentle extraction and oaking, and early bottling means these are among the more immediately accessible Burgundies in our portfolio. Jane is rightly pleased with her wines in 2017, a vintage which she says you can really see the terroirs shine through, where hotter years can obscure both the vineyard and the level. "Contrasting aromas of iodine and a crisp Autumn morning in a rose garden, with a herbaceous raspberry note. Palate shows prettier fruit, tight but sweet red berries and touch of plum skin. Lithe acidity gives clean, elegant lines to the perfumed, supple fruit. Very appealing, very Audrey (Hepburn)." Tom Harrow
