David Duband has established himself in the Côte de Nuits as one of the most talented winegrowers of his generation. His estate, farmed organically for several years, covers prestigious appellations: Nuits-Saint-Georges, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny. Winemaking is low-intervention and barrel ageing subtle, to preserve the natural elegance of the Pinot Noir. This "Louis Auguste" is the entry-level wine in the Duband range: a Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits from plots at altitude on the hills west of the Côte de Nuits, where freshness is preserved and the fruit expressed with purity.

The colour is a bright, clear ruby. The nose opens on aromas of fresh cherry and raspberry, accompanied by delicate floral notes, the signature of a carefully made Pinot Noir. The attack is supple and gourmand, carried by lovely freshness. The tannins are fine and elegant, the texture harmonious, the finish clean and precise. Very easy to enjoy right away, with a potential of 5 to 10 years.
