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

Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne 2014
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Étienne Sauzet is one of the top handful of estates in Puligny-Montrachet, biodynamic and celebrated for textbook, refined white Burgundy aged on its lees. La Garenne is an elegant, concentrated Puligny Premier Cru on the higher slopes towards Blagny. 2014 is a benchmark white Burgundy vintage, marrying ripe fruit with vivid tension and minerality. Stephen Tanzer from Vinous gave it a rating of 90.

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

"Very pale color. Slightly deeper-pitched than the Puligny villages, offering scents of peach and almond flower. Suave and fine-grained; a step up in concentration from the village wine, with more material and mineral presence to buffer its acidity. Finishes classically dry and persistent. This premier cru is firmly built but should nonetheless be accessible fairly early for its freshness and juicy minerality." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Jun 2016)
