Gevrey-Chambertin 2017

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

Gevrey-Chambertin 2017
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Marchand-Tawse is the Nuits-Saint-Georges négociant house created by the Québécois winemaker Pascal Marchand, who made his name at Comte Armand and Domaine de la Vougeraie, with his Canadian partner Moray Tawse. This is its village Gevrey-Chambertin, farmed and made with an organic, terroir-driven hand. 2017 was a fresh, generous Côte de Nuits vintage of aromatic, classically balanced reds. Neal Martin 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

"The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a slightly looser-knit bouquet than the Chambolle, although the 15% new oak should bind it together by the time of bottling. The palate is fresh, pure and focused, displaying fine acidity and candied orange peel and bright red fruit on the pert finish. Fine." - Neal Martin, Vinous (Oct 2018)
