2018 Gevrey-Chambertin David Duband, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Bursting with notes of cherries, berry preserve and cassis, with little hint of the savory nuance to come, Duband's 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with more mid-palate volume and a richer chassis of powdery tannin than the refined Chambolle that preceded it, underpinned by ripe acids. - William Kelley, Feb. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound: A notably fresher nose combines notes of attractively layered red and dark currant with those of floral, newly turned earth and soft spice hints. There is once again solid energy and volume to the medium weight flavors that also conclude in a dusty and compact finish. Like the Chambolle, here too there is a hint of dryness but there is a good chance it will eventually dissipate. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020
