"Ages of the vines: 50 years
Exposure: East
Soils: Marly limestone
Tasting notes
An elegant dress in the pink and brilliant reflections. A nose of black and red fruits with a dominant of strawberries and white pepper. The mouth is rich supported by very present tannins. A wine which takes out stereotypes of this naming.
Eat with blanquette of veal with pilaf rice. Nothing else!
Wine Making
Grapes are manually collected, sorted out, and converted into wine with 80 % in whole grape harvests. During 17 days of vatting, between pigeages 5 - 7 in feet are practised, as well as reassemblies. After pressing, wines are cleaned out over 2 weeks and placed into barrels. Ageing is in 40 % new barrels and 60 % in barrels of 1, 2, 3 years. After 14 months of ageing wines are moved to tank where they remain for 3 months and then bottled without filtration or fining."
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.
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.”
