2023 David Duband Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge 750ml

This wine comes from vineyards close to the winery in Chevannes – named in honour of David’s son, Louis-Auguste. The high altitude combined with some of the domaine’s oldest vines (over 55 years in age) tends to produce a wine of concentration, especially in warm vintages. A cuvée that never disappoints, again clearly outperforming in 2023.

”Mostly in Stockinger foudres. The plan is to move in this direction for 80% then use new barrels for 20%. Good sound purple with a very fine red fruit bouquet and adequate intensity. There is bounce from the stems (60%) with unexpected darker fruit, then good weight behind, with fair grip. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Nov 2024.” 
87-89 Points - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

'A fresh and ripe nose consists mostly of layered red and dark pinot fruit along with a hint of spice. There is a beguiling sense of energy and texture to the delicious flavors that conclude in a refreshing if mildly tangy finish where the tang is very probably due to the high level of gas.' 86-88 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound
