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

Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Domaine Jean Chauvenet, founded in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1964 and run since 1994 by Christophe Drag, is among the village's most respected estates, farming nearly ten hectares including seven Premier Crus in a traditional, unfined and unfiltered style. This is its village Nuits-Saint-Georges. 2017 was a fresh, generous Côte de Nuits vintage of aromatic, classically balanced reds. Allen Meadows reviewed it for Burghound.com.

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

"A classic Nuits nose proffers notes of forest floor, green tea, warm earth, plum and the sauvage, all of which is trimmed in gentle oak nuances. There is good volume and richness if not much refinement to the medium bodied flavors that are at once serious and rustic on the beautifully complex and persistent though slightly lean finish that will probably flesh out a bit with age." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jan 2020)
