Burgundy International - Red
About the SessionSession 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
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
"Light to mid cherry. Fragrant and red-fruited on the nose. Juicy, fresh, supple texture. Light and easy but all in balance." - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Jan 2017)
"Palish medium red. Slightly reduced aromas of red plum, raspberry, spices and wild herbs, plus a touch of leathery rusticity. On the palate the red fruit flavors are nicely accented by spices and wild herbs and enlivened by surprising acidity and tangy minerality." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Dec 2016)
"The nose is deeply pitched with its spiced plum, violet, lavender and sandalwood scents. There is terrific punch to the medium-bodied flavors that possess ample salinity and detail on the moderately structured and beautifully persistent finish. This is very Vosne in character but it's Vosne with minerality and energy." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jan 2017)
