Wine Cellar Weekly: Hallowed Burgundies, Champagnes & South African wines on auction

Strauss & Co's live, virtual auction offers exceptionally rare Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from the hallowed Burgundy region and some of SA's top producers, as well as an unrivalled line-up of Champagnes. This one is for the collectors and wine-lovers alike. Tune in for the action this Sunday at 10 am.

Some noteworthy wines on our radar this week include Albert van Niekerk's crunchy Grenache, Rustenberg's flagship Chardonnay, the extremely popular Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon from Tokara and 2 must-try Jura wines from one of the oldest co-ops in France.

Strauss & Co Burgundy & Champagne-themed auction
Sunday, 25 July at 10 am

Sunday's auction sees the very best wines from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Fourrier, Leflaive, Salon, Krug, Crystallum, Newton Johnson and many more go under the hammer. A 1993 bottling of the Georges Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses is one of the highlights (est. R 50,000 – R 80,000). Georges Roumier is known for producing highly-rated, sought-after wines, and the 1993 is no exception: 'This is a truly stunning effort... In a word, brilliant,' wrote Allen Meadows.

Van Niekerk Vintners, Rebellie 2019

This aromatic, Botriver Grenache by Albert van Niekerk (assistant at Crystallum who has also worked with Thorne & Daughters) is made from the same grapes used by Anysbos. Light and juicy with red berries and fruits, plus some spice, this wine is worth seeking out.

A double Gold winner and 96-pointer in recent awards, the Five Soldiers Chardonnay 2019 is 'a very smart, well-honed creation,' wrote Decanter. This is one of SA's consistently praised Chardonnays and is sure to be a show-stopper with its complexity and power. Will also reward cellaring.

Vinicole d'Arbois, Savagnin Sous Voile & Trousseau
From R 345 per bottle

From one of France's oldest co-operatives, the distinctive wines of Jura are fascinating the palates of wine geeks around the world! The 2011 Vinicole d'Arbois Savagnin Sous Voile is a great prelude to the intriguing, sherry-like persona of Jura. Offering delicious textures of nuts, orchard fruit and spice, it pairs extremely well with Comté cheese. Also try the Vinicole d’Arbois Trousseau 2017 – intriguingly captivating for its spicy, Pinot Noir-like, juicy, red fruit tempered with a bracing minerality and bewitching aromas.
