Domaine David Duband – Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru “Clos Sorbe”

History

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.

Tasting Notes

Beautifully defined, concentrated Pinot Noir with an astounding combination of depth and suppleness and wonderful length of flavour.
