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 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Procés comes the south hill of the appellation from vines planted in 1965 on a gentle slope with a southeast exposition at 245m on hard limestone bedrock and red clay topsoil.

CELLAR NOTES

60-80% 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 40% new French oak and 60% old. No fining or filtration.

About The Wine

Les Pruliers is the beast—in the context—of David Duband’s range of elegant wines and also the most exotic. It comes from a mix of vines planted in the 1950s and 2000s and is located on the south hill of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The soil is composed of hard limestone and heavy clay. When asked why the wines from the south hill are more hard wines by nature, David attributed it to the large and extremely hard stones there. It has been a consistent observation that vineyards with harder stones (and larger stones) tend to make more muscular wines. This characteristic imprint coupled with heavy clay makes for a wine of force and length; believe it or not, the 80% stem inclusion here helps to soften this wine a lot.
