Rully 1er Cru Monopole Clos Saint Jacques 2019

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 2019 Rully Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comes from the domaine's monopole, a hectare planted in 1952 located next to woods, ploughed twice a year and then tended by hand. It has a well-defined bouquet with orange blossom, peony and grapefruit aromas that seem to explode from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly viscous entry, beautifully poised with immense purity. Frankly this is up there with some of the best wines that I have tasted in the Côte de Beaune with wonderful persistence on the finish. A must-buy and no, the score is not over-generous for a Rully." - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (Oct 2020)
