2023 Jane Eyre Bourgogne Blanc, Burgundy

Jane Eyre Bourgogne Blanc is a fresh, finely textured Chardonnay that captures the elegance of Burgundy with a vibrant, modern edge. Sourced from vineyards in the Côte d’Or, this wine offers a beautiful introduction to Jane Eyre’s signature style—refined, expressive, and quietly complex.

An Australian winemaker based in Burgundy, Jane Eyre has built an international reputation for her minimal-intervention approach and her ability to craft wines that let the vineyards speak. Her Bourgogne Blanc is all about balance and finesse, made with fruit grown on limestone-rich soils that bring brightness and mineral clarity to the wine.

Grapes are hand harvested and whole bunch pressed, with fermentation taking place in French oak barrels using native yeasts. Jane uses a light touch with oak, usually older barrels—focusing instead on preserving the purity of fruit and the chalky texture that defines the region. There’s no heavy stirring of lees or flashy winemaking tricks, just quiet craftsmanship and attention to detail.

In the glass, it opens with aromas of lemon peel, white flowers, green apple, and crushed stone. The palate is clean and precise, with citrus and orchard fruit at its core, subtle hints of hazelnut and cream, and a long, stony finish.

This is everyday white Burgundy at its best, thoughtful, pure, and versatile at the table. Perfect with oysters, roast chicken, or a creamy leek tart.
