Regarded as one of the rising stars of Burgundy, David Duband took over his family domaine a very young age and now has more than 20 vintages of experience behind him. Starting with very small family holdings David, together with his business partner Francois Feuillet, have added to his portfolio of wines through the purchase of some exceptional old Grand cru vineyards throughout Gevrey Chambertin and Morey St Denis.

One of the world's most famous vineyards, Echazeaux is a Grand Cru located above Clos Vougeot, with only a wall separating these two famous vineyards. The name comes from "cheza" (plural "chezeaux"): a hamlet. The monks of Cîteaux, who already owned Clos Vougeot, coveted the Musigny vineyard but were never able to acquire it. They put all their hopes instead on Echezaux, which has now become one of the most coveted plots of land in the world.

Tasting Notes

A beautifully layered nose combines notes of Asian-style tea, crushed herb, rose petal and a mix of red and dark pinot fruit. There is excellent volume and mid-palate concentration to the larger-scaled flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that coats the palate on the dusty and charming finish.

Food Pairing 

This wine has very good ageing potential and ideally should be paired with delicate meats (such as poultry and veal).
