🏰 The 2017 David Duband Chambertin Grand Cru is a powerful yet elegant red 布根地, reflecting a good vintage for the region. David Duband's winemaking style for his Grand Crus involves a high percentage of whole clusters (around 90%) and about 30% new oak, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity. This wine presents an elegant and sweetly perfumed black cherry nose. On the palate, it is sweetly fruited and polished, with concentrated black fruits that are grainy and mouthfilling. Expect a brilliant cherry burlat dress and a nose of red and black berries with an aromatic dynamism of pepper and a fine touch of sandalwood. The mouth is rich and full, with present but very slightly aggressive tannins, indicating a beautiful potential for aging. Tasting notes also reveal strawberry, cherry, raspberry, earthy, leather, smoke, oak, tobacco, cedar, mint, pepper, and violet. It boasts an impressive structure – elegant, balanced, full-bodied, with firm acidity, firm tannins, and good length. Flavors follow the nose with the addition of black plum, blueberry, blackberry, and roasted meats. 【A powerful yet elegant Chambertin Grand Cru, showcasing concentrated black fruits and a complex aromatic profile with significant aging potential.】 🍴 This Chambertin Grand Cru is a superb match for classic Burgundian pairings.
