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

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras 2015
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is a benchmark Chambolle-Musigny estate, run since 1999 by Ghislaine Barthod, whose roughly six hectares yield an unrivalled range of eleven Chambolle Premier Crus farmed with parcel-by-parcel precision. Les Cras is the most powerful and mineral of her Premier Crus, a structured, age-worthy site on the upper slope near Bonnes-Mares. 2015 was an outstanding, warm and ripe Côte de Nuits vintage of rich, concentrated and age-worthy reds.

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 layered. Lots of fun with great depth.” - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2017)

“The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with red berry fruit, meat juices, wild mint and Italian herbs. Wonderful. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy cranberry and blackcurrant fruit, hints of Japanese soy and black pepper, with fine grip on the finish. I would afford this another couple of years in bottle.” - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (Jun 2025)
