Tasting notes for the Echezeaux Grand Cru 2021 - Domaine David Duband

  • EYE: The robe of this Echezeaux, with its deep and captivating red color, bursts with purple reflections. David Duband's meticulous winemaking is revealed through its intense brilliance, heralding a high-quality, concentrated, and promising grand cru.
  • NOSE: The olfactory experience opens with a powerful and complex bouquet. Enchanting aromas of black cherry and blackberry intermingled with hints of undergrowth and truffle reveal the uniqueness of the terroir. A spicy touch of clove and black pepper adds an intriguing dimension to this rich, deep, and mysterious nose.
  • MOUTH: From the first sip, the palate is captivated by a majestic attack. The imposing tannic structure is the foundation upon which explosive flavors of candied black fruits such as plum and blueberry unfold. A subtle, discreet yet perceptible minerality intensifies the wine's complexity. The marked persistent finish reveals notes of cocoa and noble wood, leaving an unforgettable impression.

 

In short: David Duband's Echezeaux Grand Cru 2021 charms us with its intense red robe, complex aromas of black cherry and truffle, and majestic palate with explosive flavors of candied black fruits, balanced by subtle minerality and a persistent finish with cocoa notes. It will fully blossom over the next 10 to 15 years, providing a rich and evolving tasting experience. Pair this exceptional Pinot Noir with a roasted venison fillet, sautéed mushrooms, or truffle-infused pasta dishes.

The rising star of the Côte de Nuits

 

It all began in 1965, when Pierre Duband founded his 15 hectares wine estate in the little village of Chevannes (right in the middle of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits). He also owned 5 hectares of vineyard in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Back then, Pierre was simply selling his grape harvest to various wine merchants in Beaune and didn't make his own wine at the estate.

In 1991, François Feuillet, then CEO of Trigano (the French specialist of camping gear and accessories) acquired the vineyard belonging to the Duband family. He took this opportunity to put David Duband, Pierre's son, in charge of the entire business. The young man was only 19 years old at the time. The Feuillet family owned 17 hectares of vineyard in total and David was allowed to use half of it to experiment with winemaking. The other half was reserved for the Trigano group. Thanks to the buyout, David officially became a winemaker and could now bottle his own wine.

Four years later, in 1995, Pierre Duband retired. That same year, his son took the helm of the family business and created his very own estate, turning his name into his new brand. Today, David owns two dozens of hectares of vineyard, with 23 appellations in total, such as the grands crus Charmes-ChambertinLatricières-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis "Clos de la Roche". Through his work, we can see the influence of his father, of course, but also some of his contemporaries; especially Robert Jayer, his former mentor and cousin of world-famous "Master of Pinot Noir" Henri Jayer, and Armand Rousseau. Celebrated by the wine guide Bettane & Desseauve, in the early 2000’s, David is now one of the rising stars of Burgundy wine.

In his endless quest for perfection, David converted his entire estate to organic agriculture in 2006. He thus banished the use of chemicals and began a deep reflection on how to preserve the soil and the natural ecosystems found in the vineyard. The Domaine David Duband has an output of 200,000 bottles of red and white wines per year. The red cuvées are entirely made using Pinot Noir grapes and the white cuvées are 100% Chardonnay. His son Louis-Auguste joined him at the estate in 2019.
