The Legacy of David Duband
David Duband, an ardent admirer of alive, distinctive, and elegant wines, has dedicated his winemaking career to expressing the subtleties and incredible diversity of the renowned "climats" of Burgundy. Since 2008, he has embarked on a unique approach, vinifying his wines using whole clusters of grapes, harnessing the noble bitterness of the stems to impart refinement and elegance to his esteemed pinot noir creations.
Award-Winning Recognition
The wines of Domaine Duband have secured their place among the finest establishments, gracing the wine lists of 16 out of the 25 prestigious three Michelin-starred restaurants in France. Esteemed culinary destinations such as Restaurants Georges V, Le Bristol, Le Doyen in Paris, Le Flocon de Sel in Mégève, Lameloise in Chagny, and Louis XV in Monaco have all embraced the magnificence of Domaine Duband's offerings.
Renowned publications consistently highlight the exceptional quality of David Duband's Pinot noirs.

This exclusive club provides passionate wine enthusiasts with the opportunity to discover the estate's latest vintages "en primeurs," participate in special tastings, reserve wines in advance, and acquire rare, limited-edition wines that are exclusively available to club members.
A Journey of Vinification Mastery
When David Duband joined his father Pierre at the helm of the family domaine, the estate encompassed 15 hectares of vines in Chevannes, nestled in the heart of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, and an additional 5 hectares in Nuits St Georges. Initially, the grapes were sold to the local cooperative, and the domaine focused solely on viticulture.
In 1991, armed with his oenology diploma from the esteemed school in Beaune, David Duband seized the opportunity to vinify his inaugural vintage. Eager to test and experiment with different vinification techniques, this talented and enterprising spirit drew inspiration from his father's vineyard work, sought expert advice from his mentor Robert Jayer in Magny-les-Villers, and absorbed invaluable knowledge during internships at the esteemed Domaines Arlaud and Pierre Amiot in Morey-Saint-Denis.
However, it was the profound admiration for the wines of Burgundy and the remarkable accomplishments of Domaine Dujac in Morey-Saint-Denis and Armand Rousseau in Gevrey-Chambertin that profoundly influenced and guided David Duband's vinification choices. These choices have now garnered widespread acclaim and recognition within the industry.
