Nuits-Saint-Georges David Duband (Domaine) 2017

The wine

In his limestone/clay terroir, David Duband cultivates his Pinot Noir grapes (which have an average age of twenty years) according to organic principles. He takes care to harvest them manually, sort them and vinify them with 80% whole bunches, lending them additional freshness and texture. The wine is then matured in casks (40% new wood). It has a ruby-red colour and a delicate, fruity nose. Its excellent tannic structure lends it great length and an unmatched creaminess.

About the Producer David Duband

The domaine was founded in 1991 by the businessman François Feuillet, the owner of the Trigano brand which is known for its caravans and trailers. He fell in love with the region and entrusted the development of the wines to David Duband, who had already harvested grapes for the cooperative of Beaune. The domaine is spread over 17 hectares, including Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, Clos-de-la-Roche and Charmes-Chambertin. All the ingredients are combined to perfect the classicism of Burgundy: the domaine is certified as organic and, in 2008, the choice was made to vinify non-destemmed grapes. Since 1991, the winemaker has evolved much in the style of his wines which have gained in precision and elegance. They are now one of the greatest wines of Côte d'Or and are on the menus of most French three star Michelin Guide restaurants.
