David Duband Nuits-Saint-Georges 2015

From La Charmotte, Aux Saints-Juliens, Brûlées and Les Plateaux which are all located on the Vosne Romanee side of the village.

’(from vines in La Charmotte, Aux Saints-Juliens and Les Plateaux): Good dark red. Very pure but subdued aromas of red berries, flowers and licorice; this really needs air. Juicy and tightly wound but not quite hard, offering penetrating flavors of blackberry and cranbyerry. This firmly structured village wine finishes with substantial spreading tannins.' (89-91) Burgundhound.com, December 2016.

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.
