Burgundy International - Red
About the Session

Session 3 is devoted to red Burgundy, drawing together some of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Grower estates such as Armand Rousseau, Denis Mortet, Denis Bachelet, Georges Lignier and Ghislaine Barthod anchor a run of grand and premier cru Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Vosne-Romanée, while a extraordinary group of lots from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, including Échézeaux, Grands Échézeaux, Richebourg, La Tâche and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, forms the session's centrepiece. Rounded out by classic bottlings from Volnay, Pommard and Nuits-Saint-Georges, plus a scattering of Beaujolais crus, this session offers exceptional depth for Pinot Noir collectors.

About this Item

Aloxe-Corton 2019
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Domaine Bruno Clair, based in Marsannay, was founded in 1979 and rebuilt from the dissolution of his grandfather's legendary Domaine Clair-Daü, and today ranks among Burgundy's most admired estates, farming old vines across many of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Its Aloxe-Corton is a village red from the Côte de Beaune, grown at the foot of the hill of Corton. 2019 was a superb, low-yielding Burgundy vintage that married ripe, generous fruit with bright acidity and fine structure.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“Pretty and airy if distinctly earthy red berry aromas give way to lilting lighter weight flavors possess focused power on the lingering and slightly rustic finale.” - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jan 2021)
