Gippsland-born winemaker Jane Eyre (yes, that is her real name) first fell in love with Burgundy during work experience at Domaine Chevrot in 1998, a connection made through a mutual friend while working as a hairdresser at cult Melbourne salon, Shibui. Swapping scissors for shears, in the last twenty-plus years, Jane has made a significant impact on the Burgundian négociant scene, being the first female and Australian recipient of La Revue de France’s Négociant of the Year award.

After working vintages in Australia, New Zealand and Germany, Jane is now based in France, where she worked stints at Domaine des Comtes Lafon and Domaine Newman before applying for her négociant license and purchasing her first batch of grapes in Savigny-Les-Beaune in 2011. Under her eponymous label, she was able to source Cru Beaujolais grapes from a site in Fleurie and slowly increased production to include Premier Cru and Grand Cru fruit throughout the Côte de Nuits. Today, these wines sit alongside a further Australian project – where she produces Pinot Noir in the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Tasmania.

Jane will take an evening away from her Australian harvest to join Members at L’Hotel Gitan in Prahan for a mini-vertical of Savigny-Les-Beaune Premier Cru Les Vergelesses and Gevrey- Chambertin Premier Cru Les Corbeaux, before finishing with her divine Corton Grand Cru.

When award-winning Sommelier Terry Kandylis stopped in Ribera del Duero on the way to the Canary Islands in 2020, little did he know that the region’s breathtaking scenery and incredibly old vine heritage would lead to him becoming the custodian of ungrafted, bush vines that average 80-100 years old.

With most of his wine career spent working in London institutions such as the Ledbury, The Fat Duck and our own 67 Pall Mall as Head Sommellier, Terry now produces wines from eight hectares of vines around the village of Canalejas de Peñafiel. Translating as ”blessed destiny”, his Bendito Destino project applies modern, Burgundian-influenced techniques to traditional field-blend plantings, with most of the range comprising blends of Tempranillo, Garnacha and other native red and white varieties grown on slopes ranging up to 925m. One notable exception to this rule is a single parcel of Albillo Mayor, bottled as an individual white variety, which received critical acclaim upon its initial release to the London wine scene.

We invite Members to join us for a memorable evening at Movida Aqui, where Terry will talk us through six of his cuvées, including two of his single-site expressions: Fuentecebolla and the original site that convinced him to start the project, La Cabaña.

Join us for this unique opportunity to explore Ribera del Duero through the lens of a modern, internationally minded producer and winemaker.

For lovers of Nebbiolo, there are few names more synonymous with Piemonte’s most iconic variety than Gaja. Pioneers in the region since their establishment in 1859, the Gaja family’s original estate spans over 250 acres of vineyards in the Langhe region, with a particular focus on Barbaresco.

When fifth generation Angelo Gaja took over the family estate in 1970, his visionary approach to winemaking quickly garnered attention through his use of barrique ageing and single vineyard bottlings. In the 1990s, Angelo’s visionary approach led to the acquisition of estates in Tuscany’s Montalcino and Bolgheri regions, with a Sicilian project added soon after.

While Angelo is still heavily involved in the running of the family’s estates, the next generation of the Gaja family – daughters Gaia, Rossanna and son Giovanni have now stepped up to join their father’s impressive legacy.

We invite our Members to join us for an exclusive back vintage masterclass showcasing current and museum releases of Nebbiolo from Gaja Barbaresco sites, including back-vintage comparisons of the acclaimed Sorì Tildìn and Sorì San Lorenzo vineyards.

The wines we will taste:

2022 Gaja Gaia & Rey Chardonnay

2021 Gaja Barbaresco
2004 Gaja Barbaresco

2021 Gaja Sorì Tildìn Barbaresco
2004 Gaja Sorì Tildìn Barbaresco

Coche-Dury is ultimate expression of white Burgundy: a sacred beacon for wine lovers all around the world. Finding just a single bottle of this hallowed wine is rare enough; tasting a horizontal of five legendary cuvées in the company of Burgundy behemoth Jasper Morris is unprecedented.

Members are invited to join us to taste five of Coche-Dury’s extraordinary wines from the 2019 vintage. We will start with an uncanny Aligoté that transmits their famous house style, then a Bourgogne Chardonnay that defies expectations for its level. Next come three Meursaults that exemplify that appellation: first the village blend, then Rougeots and the ultra-rare Chevalières. But that’s not all! We will also be opening the 2019 Giaconda Chardonnay, often cited as the Aussie Chardonnay that comes closest to Coche in style and quality, to complete this ultimate Chardonnay experience.

In Burgundy, the 2019 vintage was exceptionally small, with a hot summer creating highly concentrated fruit. At just over five years old, they are already showing maturity that showcases the complexity that makes these wines so famous. The provenance of the bottles is excellent: recently purchased from a trusted négociant in Bordeaux, they have been stored in our specialist Singapore bonded warehouse before being transferred to Melbourne.

With only one bottle available of each, this is a strictly limited masterclass giving Members the opportunity to get up close and personal both with the wines – and with Jasper.

The wines we will taste:

2019 Domaine Coche-Dury Bourgogne Aligoté
2019 Domaine Coche-Dury Bourgogne Chardonnay
2019 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault
2019 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault ‘Les Rougeots’
2019 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault ‘Les Chevaliers’
…and an Australian interloper!
2019 Giaconda Estate Chardonnay

The village of Morey-St-Denis is often overlooked, sandwiched as it is between the trendier appellations of Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin. Our Burgundy guru Jasper Morris will set the record straight with a tasting tour of Morey-St-Denis, including some of the most famous and desirable names. Two village blends courtesy of Gerard Raphet and Hubert Lignier will introduce us to the style, with Jasper telling us the story behind each wines. Next come two premiers crus from cult producers – Roumier and Perrot-Minot – which arguably still represent a rare smart buy in Burgundy, especially as they start to show the complex wonders of bottle maturity.

Then we experience the two jewels in the crown: the awesome grands crus of Dujac’s Clos St Denis and the legendary Clos des Lambrays, which justifiably rank alongside the very best of red Burgundy. From the 2016 and 2015 vintages, these wines are just entering their peak drinking, exhibiting the true majesty of Morey.

The wines we will taste:

2021 Gerard Raphet Morey-Saint-Denis
2019 Hubert Lignier ‘Trilogie’ Morey-Saint-Denis
2018 Georges Roumier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru ‘Clos de la Bussière’
2016 Perrot-Minot Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru ‘La Riotte’ Vieilles Vignes
