2024 Jane Eyre Cote de Nuits Rouge, Burgundy

Just racked from barrel. 30% whole bunches as the Côte de Nuits grapes were a little riper. A lively crimson ruby in colour. More cherries than berry fruit, a little bit of pepper from the whole bunches, then the fruit returns in an extended finish. Drink from 2028-2031. Tasted Oct 2025.

Jane Eyre has become one of Burgundy's most admired winemakers, making history as the first Australian recipient of the Négociant of the Year award from La Revue du Vin de France. Her thoughtful, minimal intervention approach allows each vineyard to speak with clarity, crafting wines that beautifully capture the elegance and individuality of Burgundy. Her Côte de Nuits Rouge is a wonderful introduction to the finesse and purity of this legendary Pinot Noir region.

The 2024 vintage delivered fruit of outstanding freshness and balance, with ideal growing conditions preserving aromatic lift and vibrant natural acidity. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards throughout the Côte de Nuits, the wine reflects the region's limestone rich soils, combining expressive fruit with refined structure and understated complexity.

Bright ruby with crimson highlights, the bouquet reveals fragrant aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry intertwined with rose petals, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes. Hints of forest floor and crushed stone emerge with time, adding depth and character. The palate is silky and beautifully composed, balancing vibrant red berry fruit with fine tannins, lively acidity and a graceful mineral thread. Elegant and persistent, the finish lingers with savoury spice, floral perfume and classic Côte de Nuits charm.

A superb companion for duck breast, roast quail, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or a charcuterie board featuring soft washed rind cheeses. Deliciously expressive on release, this refined Burgundy will continue to reward careful cellaring over the coming years.
