A complex nose of spices and strawberries with a touch of menthol. Medium-bodied palate with grainy tannins, light redcurrant and cranberry fruit with a fresh finish. A beautifully crafted and well made wine that is drinking beautifully at the moment, though time will really let it show off.
Impressively the wines of Domaine Duband are present in 16 of the 25 restaurants with three Michelin stars in France. They have been recognised recently by La Revue du Vin de France (one of France’s leading wine guides), when they awarded the Domaine their coveted 3 stars, along with other super stars like DRC, Leroy, Dujac, and Georges Roumier.
Regarded as one of Burgundy’s fastest rising stars, David Duband has been carefully crafting wines from his family’s estate in Chevannes since 1991. Starting with very small holdings in Côtes de Nuits, he has expanded his portfolio to include exceptional old Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin and Morey St Denis. Duband works his 17 hectares of vines organically and bio-dynamically with very low levels of S02 and harvests entirely by hand. In the cellar, he uses a high percentage of whole bunch ferment and a low percentage of new oak for ageing. His modern winemaking style emphasise clean, ripe fruit, exhilarating intensity and freshness without sacrificing the interpretation of the origins of each parcel of grapes.
Remarkable Nuits st Georges that I would have considered young, but no - it is drinking beautifully now, with plenty of ageing opportunity still there for the future as well. Bravo!
