Clos de la Bergerie Les Vieux Clos 2012

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

Nicolas Joly Clos de la Bergerie 2012
"Golden yellow. Discreet nose displays honeydew melon, dark spices and tarragon. On the palate there's good breadth, depth and length, with very soft acidity barely providing shape. Sweet papaya notes linger on the finish." - Joel B. Payne, Vinous (Dec 2014)

Nicolas Joly Les Vieux Clos 2012
Golden yellow. Broad aromas of muskmelon, quince jelly and almond. Powerful and a touch broad-shouldered, finishing with a supple structure and pleasant length. The high alcohol (14%) and hint of residual sugar make this an unusual display of chenin blanc. - Joel B. Payne, Vinous (Dec 2014)
