From a domaine that has become one of the most sought-after producers in the Côte d’Or, this decade-old bottle of red Burgundy is offered here at a rare value. With a truly singular style, Domaine David Duband walks the unusual tightrope between modern and traditional Burgundian winemaking. These wines deliver clean, pure expressions of Pinot Noir that only come from pristine cellar practices. The 2007 Morey-Saint-Denis displays a deep ruby core with garnet and orange reflections on the rim, consistent with its age. The nose offers the incredible savory complexity of wild herbs, wet rose petals, and forest floor met with dense dried huckleberry, blueberry, and wild strawberry and that overarching Burgundian perfume we all yearn for. The medium-bodied palate is densely packed with fruit reminiscent of the nose as well as black cherry, wild herbs, rose petals, black mushroom, and exotic spices that are wound into a silky mouthfeel of soft tannins and balanced freshness that evolves into a long and subtle spiced fruit-filled finish. This wine is peaking now but offers a few more years of life for sure.
