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.

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 Grand Cru Echezeaux comes from the lieu-dit, Les Rouges du Bas, further upslope in the cru planted in the 1930s on medium slopes with a southeast exposition at 280-300m on limestone bedrock and a shallow and rocky red clay topsoil.

CELLAR NOTES

80-100% 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 50% new French oak and 50% old. No fining or filtration.

About The Wine

Inside the bottle: Sadly, we don’t get to sit around and drink wines like this on a daily basis. Therefore, I am a little short on reference points in order to write the three paragraphs it would take to describe this constantly evolving wine. The wine has a great balance of red and black fruits, purple flowers and spice. The nose is clearly beautiful but this is a wine for texture junkies. It has a gorgeous tannic structure that glides over and refreshes the palate, leaving the taster with an urgent desire for the next sip. The 70 year-old vines located in the lieu-dit “Les Rouges du Bas” further up the slope and closer to the forest give this wine a full palate loaded with sappy red fruits and wonderful freshness. Like the other Grand Crus, this wine is endowed with a good dose of whole cluster (80%) to curb the obvious potential of excessive fruit and charm that is easy to find in this Grand Cru.
