Domaine David Duband
Based in Chevannes in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Domaine David Duband has become one of Burgundy’s most respected family estates. Since taking over the domaine in 1991, David Duband has built a reputation for producing elegant, expressive wines from an exceptional collection of vineyard holdings spanning the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune.
The Estate
Originally established by Pierre Duband in the 1960s, the estate has grown to approximately 17 hectares and includes parcels in some of Burgundy’s most sought-after appellations. Alongside vineyards in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, the domaine farms prestigious sites in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny and Clos de Vougeot. Organic farming has been practiced since 2006.
Vineyards and Terroir
The vineyards are planted on classic Burgundian limestone and clay soils, with elevations ranging from the slopes of the Hautes-Côtes to some of the Côte de Nuits’ most renowned crus. These varied sites provide ideal conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, producing wines that combine concentration, freshness and remarkable precision.
Winemaking
David Duband is known for a thoughtful and measured approach in the cellar. Whole-cluster fermentation is often employed to enhance aromatic complexity and texture, while oak ageing is carefully managed to preserve vineyard character. Gentle extraction and natural fermentations allow each wine to express its individual identity.
Wine Style
The wines are refined, aromatic and beautifully balanced. Pinot Noir displays layers of red fruit, floral notes and spice, supported by silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Across the range, the wines emphasize elegance, transparency and ageing potential rather than power.
