Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet 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 crimson. Real texture and race here on the nose. Amazingly pure. Straight down the line immediate impact. Just the merest whiff of mossiness. Dry finish. Very fresh. Marked acidity." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Mar 2012)

"The floral, cherry and pomegranate flavors are amplified by vivid acidity in this vibrant, elegant red, which is intense, with dense yet refined tannins and a finish that evokes mineral and pepper accents." - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Jun 2013)

"Good bright, deep red. Musky, superripe aromas of jammy black fruits and roasted herbs. Round, sweet and superripe but still fresh in spite of its chocolatey quality. Finishes with powerful, chewy tannins that cut off the fruit today. This wine will need time to harmonize in bottle." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2013)
