The Amazing Burgundy Wines of Jane Eyre

What is better than wine tasting? How about two wine tastings in one? That is exactly what happened when Jane Eyre invited us to a private tasting at Domaine Newman in Beaune, France.

The term “hidden gem” can be overused. This is one case where the label is more than deserved, because this amazing winery does not even have a sign. We were beyond excited to be invited behind the gates of Domaine Newman.
The lovely town of Beaune in the heart of the Burgundy region of France is rich with wineries and tasting rooms. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to visit one of the oldest and most respected among them: Bouchard Pere et Fils.
We love the wines from the Burgundy region of France. After some incredible tasting experiences in the Champagne region, we made our way to Burgundy. In short we were wine tasting. Our first stop: the remarkable Maison Marchand-Tawse.
