David Duband is making great wines exclusively from the Côte-de-Nuits. He loves whole cluster fermentations. He said, "Once I had tasted old bottles from Dujac and DRC made with whole clusters I knew I wanted to make similarly aromatic wines." His business partner François Feuillet bankrolled the purchase of Jacky Truchot's vineyards in 2005. Viticulture is a mix of organic & biodynamic methods but not certified as such.

Focus On: Burgundy
Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.
While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!
From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
