David Duband Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 375ml

From a .30 ha parcel of 55 yo vines in the heart of the appellation between the vines of Leroy and Chantal Remy.

‘A perfumed and distinctly cool red currant and pomegranate-suffused nose possesses a plenitude of floral and spice aromas. The sleek, seductive and intensely mineral-inflected middle weight flavors possess fine mid-palate density while displaying excellent length on the balanced if strict finish. This too is going to require at least moderate patience and reward 15 years or more. (91-93)/2032+’ Burghound January 2019

Regarded as one of the rising stars of Burgundy, David Duband took over his family domaine a very young age and now has more than 20 vintages of experience behind him. Starting with very small family holdings David, together with his business partner Francois Feuillet, have added to his portfolio of wines through the purchase of some exceptional old Grand cru vineyards throughout Gevrey Chambertin and Morey St Denis.

In recent years David has adapted his work in both the vineyards and cellars and in the last few years is producing wines with not only remarkable finesse and detail but also exhilarating intensity and freshness. Working organically in the vineyards and with low levels of S02 in the cellar he also uses a relatively high percentage of whole bunch ferment and a low percentage of new oak for ageing and this is adapted to each wine as it needs. This results in wines of striking purity with fabulous depth and intensity without sacrificing the details of the origins of each parcel of grapes. These are wines showing terroir and the soil signature of the fruit for each parcel above all else. These are wines that are built to age classically and gracefully.
