Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers 2010

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

"Bright, full red. A basket of red and black fruits on the nose, brightened by a stony note. A sweet, fine-grained fruit bomb on the palate, with harmonious acidity leavening the impression of sucrosité. There's a deceptive easiness to this wine's crushed berry and mint flavors. Finishes sweet, spicy and very long, with substantial but round tannins that reach the front teeth." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92+/100 (Jan 2012)

"A deeply pitched and brooding nose of spice, plum, cassis and plenty of pungent earth marries into very rich, intense and muscular flavors that possess a velvety mouth that culminates in a precise and driving finish that delivers spectacular length. This possesses that rare quality of having a robust and powerful mid-palate yet the overall impression is a wine of refinement. In a word, brilliant." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jan 2012)
