About this Item
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
"Open and flirtatious nose. Seems more relaxed than the Fleury Sonate 9. Lots of personality and very brisk but definitely an aperitif champagne with great line and direction." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Nov 2014)
"The Cuvée No. 737 Dégorgement Tardif shows all the radiance and suppleness of the base 2009 vintage. Racy, silky and polished, with plenty of near-term appeal, the 737 is a gorgeous Champagne to drink now and over the next handful of years. Expressive orchard fruit, mint and white pepper notes are nicely pushed into the foreground. Disgorged November 2017." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92+/100 (Mar 2018)
"There is an abundance of pain grillé character to the pretty and attractively layered nose of ripe but fresh apple, pear, white flower and exotic dried tangerine peel aromas. There is excellent richness to the robust and relatively powerful full-bodied flavors that pack plenty of punch on the mouth coating and impressively persistent finish that is certainly dry though not really austere." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Jan 2015)
