Unit price per
100% Pinot Noir
Regarded as one of the rising stars of Burgundy, David Duband took over his family domaine in Hautes Cotes de Nuits at very young age and now has more than 20 vintages of experience behind him. Starting with very small family holdings David and 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. 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 aging.
With the domaine based in Chévannes in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Duband’s Louis Auguste cuvée (named after his son) is arguably the domaine’s most important. The wine comes from higher-altitude sites and some of the domaine’s oldest vines (over 55 years in age).
Red ruby bursting with beautiful dark reflections. The nose has ripe and fresh black and red fruits with elegant floral wisps. Mineral driven and lean with a touch of licorice and a slightly spiced finish.
