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

Morey-Saint-Denis 2010
1 (1 x 1) 750ml
Domaine des Lambrays, owned by LVMH since 2014, is best known for its near-monopoly of the Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis. This is its village Morey-Saint-Denis, drawn mostly from vines just above the great clos. 2010 is a classic Côte de Nuits vintage of vivid fruit, freshness and finely knit tannins. Jancis Robinson MW gave it 16.5 out of 20, and Stephen Tanzer from Vinous gave it a rating of 90.

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

"Pale ruby. Light nose but very comfortable in its own skin somehow. Confident and pure. Good balance, if very forward. A little tart on the end." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2012)

"Good bright, deep red. Very pure, Chambolle-like aromas of flowers, minerals, earth, herbs and pepper. Then silky and smooth in the mouth, with a saline quality and smoky minerality carrying through the rising finish. Perhaps a bit warm at 13.25% natural alcohol, but this silky, lightly peppery wine is long for village wine." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2013)
