GROWER OVERVIEW

David Duband took over the family domaine (founded in 1963) in 1991. His most evident adaptations over the years have been the conversion of all his vineyards to organic practices in 2006, the inclusion of healthy doses of whole bunches to all classifications of his wine (Bourgogne to Grand Cru), and minimal additions of sulfites. Duband’s stable of wines comes from twenty-three prestigious appellations from Gevrey-Chambertin to Nuits-Saint-Georges, including six grand crus. David’s wines, from a mix of vines aged 25-100 years old, clearly demonstrate the subtle differences amongst parcels, further revealing each unique nuance of the year and terroir.

VINEYARD DETAILS

Duband’s Chambolle-Musigny comes primarily from Les Chardannes and Les Herbues (below a series of top 1er crus and beneath Bonnes Mares) from vines planted in 1970s on gentle slopes with southeast exposition at 250m on limestone bedrock and clay topsoil.

CELLAR NOTES

30-40% stem inclusion with 5-7 gentle punch downs by feet in total over 15-18-day natural yeast fermentation, then pressed & settled in vat for 2-3 weeks to clarify before 14 months in 25% new French oak and 75% old. No fining or filtration.

About The Wine

Inside the bottle: This wine has all that you may expect from a village wine in Chambolle. It is sleek, focused, feminine and just stern enough. The wine shows soft, beautiful red fruits and flowers with sweet wild herbs, forest floor, wet stone and a drop of green citrus. The structure has medium tannin with great acidity and texture. It is a darling of a Chambolle. Sadly, there is not much to go around.

Terroir: It principally comes from two vineyards, Les Chardannes and Les Herbues, that sit below a series of very good vineyards just uphill.
