Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Virondot 2010

Burgundy International - White
About the Session

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

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Virondot 2010
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Domaine Marc Morey et Fils is a century-old Chassagne-Montrachet estate, run since 2003 by the fourth-generation Sabine Mollard. En Virondot is its flagship, a quasi-monopole at the highest, rockiest point of the Chassagne Premier Crus that many regard as the wine that best sums up the commune, built to age. 2010 is a classic, finely balanced white Burgundy vintage of vivid freshness and depth. Jancis Robinson MW gave it 17 out of 20, and Allen Meadows from Burghound.com gave it a rating of 93.

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

"Lots of energy and tight richness. Good stuff!" - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2012)

"Very mild reduction reduces slightly the expressiveness of the white flower, lemon rind and wet stone suffused nose. There is wonderful transparency to the cool, rich and palate coating flavors that conclude in a mineral-inflected, dry, clean and gorgeously intense finish that combines both outstanding length with superb complexity. This is the finest example that I have ever seen and is well worth your consideration." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Jun 2012)
