Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode 2010

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

"Very rich and sweet and fruity on the nose. Sweet and flattering and very juicy. Faces completely east. Much richer than most Savignys." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2012)

"Good bright, dark red. Subtle scents of strawberry, raspberry and earth. Broad and fairly powerful, offering more breadth and flesh (this parcel dates back more than a century) but less early sweetness than the Vosne-Romanée Champs-Perdrix. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins that call for a few years of patience." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90+/100 (Mar 2013)

"A deft touch of wood spice frames very ripe dark berry fruit aromas that evidence plenty of pungent Savigny-style earth, continuing onto the dense and seductively velvet-textured medium-bodied flavors. This very firmly structured beauty is long, serious and beautifully well-balanced. One to buy if you have the patience to wait." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Jan 2013)
