About the Session

A fine selection of white Burgundy, spanning the full range of the region's great Chardonnay appellations - from the flinty, mineral wines of Chablis through to the richer, more textured expressions of the Côte de Beaune. Highlights include Grand Cru bottlings from Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, alongside benchmark Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet from names such as Roulot, Coche-Bizouard and Etienne Sauzet. Producers represented range from grower-estates to celebrated négociant houses, offering collectors an excellent cross-section of what white Burgundy does best.

About this Item

Pernand-Vergelesses 2019
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Domaine Bruno Clair, based in Marsannay, was founded in 1979 and rebuilt from the dissolution of his grandfather's legendary Domaine Clair-Daü, and today ranks among Burgundy's most admired estates, farming old vines across many of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Its Pernand-Vergelesses, here a white, is a village wine from the Côte de Beaune near the hill of Corton, grown on cool, elevated limestone slopes. 2019 was a superb Burgundy vintage that gave ripe whites of unusual freshness and mineral cut. Allen Meadows reviewed it for Burghound.com.

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

"A slightly fresher nose is comprised of cool apple, lemon zest and a floral hint. The sleek, intense and more overtly mineral-suffused flavors exhibit solid depth and persistence on the very dry but not really austere finale." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jun 2021)
