Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre 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

"Pale, green-tinged yellow. Strongly mineral-driven aromas of lime, lemon cake icing and crushed stone. Very tightly wound, in fact almost austere for the year, offering classic citrus, menthol and mineral flavors that are pure and sharply delineated but not yet expansive. Harmonious acidity and a note of pineapple give this very promising wine a bracing, focused finish." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91+/100 (Aug 2017)

"The 2015 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre has a light granite, slightly smoky bouquet that is still broody, just as it showed out of barrel last year. The palate is balanced with a light sea influence on the entry, a touch of Golden Delicious apples and fresh pear with a precise, if slightly short, finish." - Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Aug 2017)
