David Duband is a young winemaker in Chavanne, in the high Cote d’Or of Burgundy. The company was only founded in 1991, when a very young David decided to bottle and label the small production of family grapes. His loyalty to the land, to the simplicity and pragmatism of his work and of the craft of the producer led him on the path of experimentation and courageous choices which, if initially labeled him as “modernist”, today, with a more moderate approach, make him a high-quality winemaker, highly regarded for the attention and care he puts in his winemaking choices. Immediately after the first experiments in the vineyard, Duband decides to undertake the complex path of organic and biodynamic cultivation, becoming certified in 2006. Alongside this choice, the producer maintains low levels of sulfur in his wines. Since the 2008 vintage he has been experimenting with the use of whole bunches in winemaking for the 60-80% of the blend.
Masculine but elegant wine, tannins are balanced and not too aggressive.
Aromas of tasty and intense red fruits and more mineral hints.
Perfect with a meal or with a creamy pasta or risotto.
The producer recommends it with a snail pate in green sauce.
16-18 °C
Suggestion to open it about 1 to 2 hours before serving it. And let it breath in the glass as well.
Certified organic viticulture since 2006, careful management of biodiversity and of ecosystem balance.
80% whole bunches are used in the vinification and periodic “pigeages” are made with the feet. The wines are then aged in barrels (40% new, 60% second or third passage) for 14 months. It then rests in stainless steel for 3 months before bottling. The wines are not filtered.
