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.
Volnay Premier Cru Santenots, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2019
"2019 is a vintage with tremendous charm and grace, for both whites and reds - and this Santenots, a 1er Cru site bordering Meursault, embodies the perfumed elegance and supple, silken red fruits I associate with Volnay. It will continue to develop and soften but the current brightness and vivacity has its own appeal and it never disappoints on each occasion opened." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru For years, the Boigelot family sold part of their crop to none other than Coche-Dury, but Charles Boigelot is now intent on taking the domaine to new heights - and it’s working. Even Neal Martin has said he’s “ keeping an eye on ” them. The 2019 Santenots captures everything we love about Volnay: graceful yet generous, with bright cherry, raspberry, and gentle baking spice. Now hitting its stride, it’s silky, balanced, and effortlessly charming.
