The quality of David Duband’s wines has steadily advanced since he took over his family’s domaine in 1991. In 1999 he began the move away from conventional farming and achieved organic certification in 2006. In 2005, his friend and business partner, François Feuillet, managed to buy vineyards from Jacky Truchot, which included ideal spots with old-vine parcels in the grand crus, Clos de la Roche and Charmes-Chambertin. 

Painters use canvas and paint; David’s medium is limestone, clay, grapes, and oak. His wines transparently demonstrate the slightest differences in each terrior's shade and contour, further revealing each unique nuance of the year and terroir.

The Bourgogne Aligote from Duband is a very small production of white wine from Chardonnay’s younger much less know sibling in Burgundy

Tasting Notes

Bourgogne Aligoté first catches the eye with its pale yellow color with hints of gold. On the nose, it offers a range of delicious aromas of white-fleshed fruit, white blossom, peach, lemon, linden, acacia, hazelnut, green apple, and sometimes even citrus. On the palate, it is always remarkably fresh, with hints of saline and a fruity acidity that ensures good length.

Food Pairing 

Ideal as an al fresco aperitif in the garden. This wine generally goes well with rich fish (salmon, tuna etc), shellfish or mild and soft cheese.

Grape Variety: Aligote 

Country: Burgundy - France
