About The Wine
From two parcels of vines, each about 40 years-old, one on granitic soil, the other red-clay over limestone, both of which are farmed organically.
There is a certain degree of rock’n roll to this wine, an American in Paris kind of vibe. Stands to reason, as winemaker Jon Purcell is in fact an American in Burgundy. Natural wine, made clean and pure is his calling card, and this is right in that wheelhouse.
Red and black berries, notes of undergrowth, a lick of leather, this is no maverick, cowboy style of wine, it’s got length and integrated tannins, that show just how serious Jon is about respecting the opportunity he has, to craft wine from the hallowed vineyards of Burgundy.
About Vin Noe
There are times when someone’s personality and demeanour are such that they are able to overcome what for others, are unsurmountable obstacles.
Such is the case with Jon Purcell, an American winemaker who works at Domaine Matrot in Meursault.
He started his own label, Vin Noe recently, only due to the relationship he was able to form with a local vigneron, who allowed him to lease vineyards in Puligny Montrachet and St Aubin, something only a handful of foreigners (especially Americans) are doing.
Making his wines in a natural way, he eschews the use of sulphur, while still making clean vinous styles in minute quantities. Jon is proof that hard work, and a positive outgoing nature, really do open doors that are shut to most others.
From The Producer
Fruit from Mercurey, from two locations: the first site higher with more altitude and an unusual combination of limestone and granite, the second site is lower in the valley and more classic Mercurey.
The grapes are hand harvested, and vinified naturally: two weeks of semi-carbonic maceration, the grapes left untouched for 10 days, followed by 5 days with crushing and punch downs. Matured 10 months in barrels that have seen several wines. Bottled in June 2020, without fining, filtration or added sulphites.

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
