Clos de la Roche Grand Cru David Duband (Domaine) 2018

The wine

Harvest by hand, 17 days in vats, and a maturation in 40% new oak barrels for 14 months – these are some of this lovely cuvée’s secrets. It has a carmine red colour and a nose of red and black fruits with a touch of delicate, peppery spices. A delicate and subtle texture accompanies refreshing tannins and a long finish.

About the Producer David Duband

The domaine was founded in 1991 by the businessman François Feuillet, the owner of the Trigano brand which is known for its caravans and trailers. He fell in love with the region and entrusted the development of the wines to David Duband, who had already harvested grapes for the cooperative of Beaune. The domaine is spread over 17 hectares, including Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, Clos-de-la-Roche and Charmes-Chambertin. All the ingredients are combined to perfect the classicism of Burgundy: the domaine is certified as organic and, in 2008, the choice was made to vinify non-destemmed grapes. Since 1991, the winemaker has evolved much in the style of his wines which have gained in precision and elegance. They are now one of the greatest wines of Côte d'Or and are on the menus of most French three star Michelin Guide restaurants.
