The Producer

Domaine David Duband

The Domaine David Duband lies in Chevannes, in the heart of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and produces refined and elegant wines from 23 prestigious appellations from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin.

The estate farms 17 hectares of vines organically, under the strict management of the Ecocert label. The Domaine Duband also buys grapes from a few small vinegrowers who farm with great respect for the vines and of their surrounding environment.  

David Duband loves wines that are alive, distinctive and elegant and which express the subtleties and incredible diversity of the "climats” of Burgundy. Since 2008 he has vinified his wines using whole clusters of grapes as the noble bitterness of the stems adds a certain refinement and elegance to pinot noir.

The wines of Domaine Duband are present in 16 of the 25 restaurants with 3 Michelin stars in France, including, among others, the Restaurants Georges V, Le Bristol, Le Doyen in Paris, Le Flocon de Sel on Mégève, Lameloise in Chagny, Louis XV in Monaco...  

The pinots noirs of David Duband are regularly cited in the press. His choices in regards to both viticulture and vinification have made him particularly successful. The Revue des Vins de France, in June 2012 cites the Clos de la Roche 2011 as having"inviting perfumes that evoke the traditional rose. A wine that emphasizes refinement rather than power,” and in June 2013 citing the Chambolle-Musigny  1er Cru Clos Sorbé 2012 as : "A great wine, transcendental pinot noir, chiseled and refined.”


 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir produces some of the world's most expensive, most lauded, rarest and delicious wines. Equally it is one of the most difficult grapes to grow successfully and as a result it is quite hard to make a balanced Pinot Noir. It is historically from Burgundy, most specifically in the Cote de Nuits, so much so that people will refer to Pinot Noir as a 'Burgundy'.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most important wine regions in the world. It is often the one region that winemakers not lucky enough to be based there strive to make wine in. Run over to your local winery and I am sure that you'll find at least one Burgundy-phile. It is the historical home of the two major grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
