In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Ripe blackberry and red cherry fruit with a subtle whisper of spice and rose petal, all held together by bright acidity and delicate structure. Juicy and poised, with silken tannins that feel almost creamy rather than demanding. This is a wine built for the table—effortlessly drinkable yet complex enough to reward attention.

The Winery — Jane Eyre

Melbourne-born Jane Eyre arrived in Burgundy following work experience across Margaret River, New Zealand, and the Mosel, eventually establishing her micro-négociant operation in Cissey in 2004. She was named Négociant of the Year by the Revue des Vins de France in 2021, the first woman to receive the honour. The 2023 vintage draws from two parcels in Corgoloin and Comblanchien at the southern edge of the Côte de Nuits, where stony limestone soils and vines averaging 50 years old develop real depth. Winemaking is understated: a blend of whole-bunch and destemmed fruit fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, then matured in used French oak for twelve months before bottling unfiltered.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is equally at home with roasted chicken, braised beef, soft cheese, or a plate of game and venison. The bright acidity and structure make it a natural partner for mushroom and truffle dishes, whilst the silky tannins complement stews and braises beautifully. Perfect for date night or as a thoughtful gift for serious collectors—the quality of fruit and restraint suggest this wine will age gracefully in the cellar.
