About the SessionA 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
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
"Pleasing and fairly complex honeysuckle nose with a bone-dry palate. A little more relaxed than many." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16+/20 (Jan 2017)
"Pale yellow. Very ripe stone fruits plus a hint of lichee on the nose. Less exotic on the palate owing to saline minerality, with the stone fruit flavors displaying slightly elevated alcohol but no lack of energy. Finishes a touch phenolic, with moderate complexity but an intriguing saline character." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Jun 2017)
"A pretty and attractively complex nose combines notes of pear and apple with those of acacia and petrol. There is a notably finer mouth feel to the more vibrant medium-bodied flavors that possess a discreet minerality as well as slightly better depth and length. This is a lovely effort and worth considering." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jun 2017)
