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 2015
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Maison Joseph Drouhin, founded in Beaune in 1880 and biodynamic across its holdings, is one of Burgundy's benchmark houses, drawing on vineyards throughout the Côte d'Or and Chablis. This is its village Morey-Saint-Denis. 2015 was an outstanding, warm and ripe Côte de Nuits vintage of rich, concentrated reds. Stephen Tanzer reviewed it for Vinous.

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

"Palish medium red. Rather shallow scents of musky wild red berries and brown spices. Plump and pliant in the mouth, with strawberry, spice and earth flavors lifted by a note of faded rose. Finishes with a mass of ripe, dusty tannins but this is essentially an easygoing wine with considerable early appeal." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Jan 2018)
