Collection 2009

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

Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières 2009
“The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Perrières possesses gorgeous purity and integrity from start to finish. Exotic hints of allspice, tar, smoke and camphor add elements of darkness to the Perrières. This is an especially brooding, inward wine that will require considerable bottle age to soften. The Perrières has maintained great freshness and overall energy.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 93/100 (Apr 2012)

Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers 2013
“Blueish crimson. Aromatic and surprisingly flyaway on the nose. Sweet start and very round. Lightish tannic charge.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2015)

“Bright medium red. Dark fruits, peppery herbs, licorice and subtle soil tones on the nose. Dense, fine-grained and highly concentrated, showing excellent sappy lift to its flavors of black cherry, cranberry and leather. Nicely rising, vibrant finish. There’s plenty of reserve and underlying power here to support graceful development in bottle.” - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91+/100 (Dec 2015)

Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Roncière 2012
“Bright dark red. Black raspberry, violet and a whiff of game on the nose. Saline, dry and seriously structured wine with a blackberry flavor enlivened by stony minerality. Fine-grained and harmonious, with a strong acid spine and a late note of bitter chocolate. Built to age.” - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Jan 2014)

Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots 2010
“Attractive scent, more ethereal than the Bousselots. Then the fruit is a bit fragile and shows the oak a tad more, but it’s a lovely wine, very juicy.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2012)

“Dark bright red. Ripe blackberry and stony minerality on the showy nose, lifted by sexy oak spices. Fat, sappy and deep, with very good density for this cuvee. Finishes with broad, sweet tannins and excellent length.” - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Jan 2012)
