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

Gagey Bourgogne Le Chapitre 2017
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Maison Louis Jadot, founded in Beaune in 1859, is one of Burgundy's greatest houses, both a large domaine and négociant, its wines made in a classic, ageworthy style first by Jacques Lardière and now Frédéric Barnier. Under its Domaine Gagey label, this Bourgogne comes from the Le Chapitre climat at Chenôve, at the northern tip of the Côte de Nuits. 2017 was a fresh, generous Côte de Nuits vintage of aromatic, classically balanced reds. Neal Martin reviewed it for Vinous and Allen Meadows 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

"The 2017 Bourgogne le Chapitre has simple light red cherries mixed with strawberry on the nose. The palate is balanced, clean and straightforward with a light, tart finish." - Neal Martin, Vinous (Nov 2018)

"An airy and very pretty mélange features notes of various red berries, earth and a whiff of lilac. The delicious and energetic lighter weight flavors possess fine detail that carries over to the dusty, balanced and focused finish. This needs to develop a bit more depth but it's already very good." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Apr 2019)
