About this Item

Bourgogne Chardonnay Clos du Chateau 2016
5 (1 x 5) 750ml
Château de Meursault is one of Burgundy's grandest estates, its origins reaching back a thousand years and its cellars beneath the château among the largest in the region. The Clos du Château, its signature wine, is a Chardonnay from the eight-hectare walled vineyard in the château's park, bottled as Bourgogne but vinified like the estate's great whites. 2016 was an excellent, classic white Burgundy vintage of fresh, balanced wines. 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

"Pungent aromas are comprised of notes of straw, petrol and spiced pear. The nicely dense, even opulent flavors retain a lovely sense of energy that adds lift to the crisp, clean and refreshing finish." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jun 2018)
