2007 Domaine David Duband, Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy, France, Gevrey-Chambertin
Gevrey-Chambertin is a village in the Côte de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy that is home to some of the world's most prestigious (and correspondingly expensive) red wines. Apart from its own Gevrey-Chambertin village appellation, the parish lays claim to 26 Premier Cru climats and nine Grand Crus.
Gevrey-Chambertin wines are exclusively red and made predominantly from Pinot Noir grapes. Widely regarded as being the most full-bodied and masculine wine of the region, the village's wines have a particular intensity of color and rich, deep flavors that have earned Gevrey the title 'King of Burgundy' (the 'Queen' being nearby Chambolle-Musigny). The distinguishing feature of these wines is their intensity, longevity and a distinctive gamey note that is not found in the wines of any other Burgundy commune.
Installed in 1991 on the family estate, David Duband now operates 17 hectares bio (including six owned) Côte de Nuits with the financial support of Francois Feuillet. The work in the vineyard and in the winery is made in order to obtain wines respecting the identity of the land while treating the finesse of the tannins and developing fruity aromas extraction. The 2007 David Duband wines are very delicate and fruit with excellent minerality and purity.
Today, the grower does not use more than 30% new oak, is tempted by the entire harvest technique, uses no herbicides since 1998 and switched to organic treatment since 2004. If the method has evolved over the vintages to assert a Duband « style », his passion does not change: « I love fruit in my wines », says David Duband recommending to drink his wines in five years. David Duband makes the following analysis: « It is not because a wine is good when it’s young, that it will not get older. »It is up to the amateur to choose how he loves his Duband.
He has a new cellar at Chevannes, a functional cathedral with a storage capacity of 960 barrels.
David Duband operates some vineyards in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, with the same care and the same methods that have made his reputation in Nuits-Saint-Georges: bio agriculture, green harvest, 100% destemmed and maturing during 16 months on barrel, of which 30 to 40% are new.
