About this Item

Meursault 2010
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Henri Boillot, based in Meursault, is celebrated for some of the finest white Burgundy, made both from its own Côte de Beaune vines and through a meticulous négociant arm, in a precise, mineral style. This is its village Meursault. 2010 was a classic, finely balanced white Burgundy vintage of vivid freshness and depth. Antonio Galloni from Vinous gave it a rating of 90, and Allen Meadows from Burghound.com 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

"Understatement and pure nuance come through in the 2010 Meursault. Slate, gunpowder and bright white tone fruits are woven into the expressive, layered finish. This is another impressive, beautifully detailed village-level wine from Henri Boillot." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 90/100 (Aug 2012)

"Here the profile of the aromatics changes with its combination of hazelnut, dried rose petal, pear and white peach scents. There is good volume to the round, generous and naturally sweet flavors that exude a fine minerality on the balanced, persistent and unusually refined finish. An excellent villages that is well-worth considering." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90/100 (Jun 2012)
