In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A wine that sings rather than shouts. Core of vibrant acidity and fine, grainy tannins frame red cherry and wild-herb perfume with brambly undertone, speaking to mature vines rooted in limestone-rich soil. The 2022 vintage delivered exceptional clarity and balance after lean years prior, with delicate, mineral-driven structure that stays front and centre.

The Winery — Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre arrived in Burgundy from Melbourne in 1999, driven to master the region's reds. Two decades working with producers in New Zealand and Germany shaped her palate before she settled in Cissey to establish her micro-négociant business. Hand-picked, de-stemmed parcels are fermented cool and kept in mostly older oak, prioritising discipline over ego. In 2021, she became the first woman to receive Négociant of the Year from Revue des Vins de France—recognition of her talent for sourcing exceptional fruit.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Aux Vergelesses sits on a steep slope above Savigny village with argilo-calcareous marl delivering both drainage and minerality. Vines aged 25–50 years yield concentrated fruit perfectly suited to roasted chicken, braised beef, aged goat cheese and charcuterie. This refined, food-focused bottle from Pinot Noir proves that restraint and precision separate the memorable from the merely pleasant. Ideal for gifting or cellaring.
