Meursault 2015

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 restrained nose with a hint of liquorice. Smooth texture and a little more friendly, and certainly less reductive, than the current Meursault mode. A friendly Meursault for fairly early drinking." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Jan 2017)

"Light yellow. Pure, restrained aromas of white peach, menthol and white pepper accented by orange peel. Dry, firm and broad but youthfully backward owing to surprising orange zest acidity. A village wine with excellent potential." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Jun 2016)

"A ripe but classic nose of hazelnut and fresh white orchard fruit aromas is trimmed in a hint of matchstick. The rich, full and naturally sweet middle weight flavors also possess fine depth and length for a villages level wine. This is seductively delicious if a bit less energetic but richer and one that should repay 4 to 6 years of cellar time." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jun 2017)
