David Duband Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers 2020

David Duband Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Sentiers' is an exquisite expression of Burgundian elegance and structural finesse, sourced from one of the most prestigious Premier Cru sites in Chambolle-Musigny. Situated directly below the legendary Grand Cru Bonnes-Mares, Les Sentiers sits on steep, limestone-rich soils that impart a unique combination of Chambolle’s signature lace-like floral perfume and the firm, earth-driven power of its neighboring Grand Cru. Crafted from old vines using organic viticulture, high whole-cluster fermentation (around 80%), and aging in 40% new French oak, David Duband delivers a wine of striking purity, aromatic complexity, and weightless volume.

In the glass, it opens with a soaring, highly expressive bouquet of fresh red cherries, wild raspberries, and pomegranate, accented by lifted top-notes of crushed violets, rose petals, dried herbs, and exotic Asian spices. On the palate, the wine strikes a breathtaking balance between sheer silkiness and taut mineral drive. A concentrated core of red berries and savory tea leaf is supported by ultrafine, chalky tannins and a piercing beam of cool-climate natural acidity. Whole-bunch integration adds an ethereal spice and phenolic grip, carrying the wine into a long, fragrant, and mouthwateringly saline finish.
