Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuees 2013

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 ruby-red. Sappy aromas of raspberry, menthol and coffee are complicated by brown spices and clove oil. Concentrated and sharply delineated, communicating an impression of calcaire energy to the slightly inky, tight flavors of medicinal red cherry, crushed stone and botanical herbs. Like a mini-Bonnes-Mares, with the verve and spine to support a graceful evolution in bottle. A superb showing." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Nov 2014)

"Despite the presence of strong menthol aromas there is still an appealing nuance to the mélange of red and dark currant, spice and violet scents. There is a lush and textured mouth feel to the mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by firm but phenolically mature tannins on the intense, robust and impressively persistent finish. This is a muscular but by no means rustic example of Fuées." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Apr 2015)
