Pouilly-Fuisse Clos Varambon 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

"Ripe, fresh and vaguely exotic aromas include those of pear liqueur, white and yellow peach, petrol and citrus confit and anise wisps. There is solid concentration to the notably rich medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel and a bracing salinity on the refreshing bitter lemon rind-inflected finish where a touch of austerity slowly emerges." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90/100 (Oct 2022)

"The 2019 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos Varambon wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet orchard fruit, fresh pastry, white flowers and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, lively and layered, it's fleshy and precise, with an enveloping core of fruit that's enlivened by a hint of residual carbon dioxide." - William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Aug 2021)
