Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaumonts 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

"A tad stolid. Chestnuts and not much sweetness though no shortage of tannin. Wait for this!" - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2017)

"Good medium bright red. Much more fruity and expressive on the nose than the Petits Vougeot, offering aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and sexy oak spices. At once creamy, ripe and juicy in the mouth, conveying an easygoing sweetness to its concentrated flavors of raspberry, spices, chocolate and minerals. The tannins spread out horizontally to saturate the palate on the very long back end." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Nov 2017)

"This is spicier still with its slightly more deeply pitched nose of red and dark pinot fruit, violet, Asian tea and dried orange peel hints. There is much more minerality present on the vibrant and intense medium weight flavors that possess unusually good delineation for the vintage, all wrapped in a sappy, dusty and sneaky long finish. This is very classy juice and less marked by the vintage than the Vosne villages." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jan 2018)
