The estate

The story of this family estate began in 1965, driven by Pierre Duband. However, the estate took on its current form and true scale in 1991, when Domaine David Duband was founded as David took over. Located in Chevannes, in the heart of Burgundy, the property is now run by David Duband, owner and winegrower. Certified organic since 2006, the estate covers around twenty hectares and stands out for its terroir-driven approach, placing its cuvées among the region's benchmark wines.

The vineyard

This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits comes from a very small, high-altitude plot of about 0.5 hectares in the commune of Chevannes. This cooler terroir, farmed according to the strict principles of organic viticulture, allows the vines to maintain a natural balance in the face of climate change, yielding grapes of great vitality.

The vintage

The 2022 vintage provided very favourable conditions, allowing for controlled, high-quality yields. It stands out for the excellent ripeness of the berries, ensuring a generous crop while preserving the freshness essential to the wines' balance.

The wine is aged in barrels with a moderate proportion of new oak, then bottled without any filtration to preserve the full purity and complexity of the wine.
