Clef de Sol Blanc 2013
About this Item
La Grange Tiphaine is a biodynamic estate on the south bank of the Loire at Montlouis-sur-Loire, run by Damien and Coralie Delecheneau, who farm old Chenin vines up to eighty years old. Clef de Sol – 'treble clef', a nod to the couple's love of music – is the estate's benchmark dry Chenin, grown on clay and flint over tuffeau and often likened to 'Savennières meets Brézé'. 2013 was a cool, classic Loire vintage.
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.
