The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey was showing especially well, bursting from the glass with scents of raspberries, plums, dark chocolate, spices and cinnamon, a delicate top note of rose petals emerging as it sits in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous, it's velvety and supple, with lively balancing acids. The Aux Thorey is especially charming this year.

Based at Chevannes, David Duband has recently started making and bottling his own wine from his father's superbly located vineyards in Nuits St. Georges in preference to selling it to the local negociant. This unassuming young man has been in charge of vinification since 1991, and is one of most exciting new discoveries.

Like his great friend Nicolas Potel, David is full of energy and passionate about quality. His wines are characterised by their purity, balance and depth of fruit. His Vosne-Romanées are beautifully textured and possess a silky elegance. However, pride of place goes to his Nuits St. Georges - they are produced from vineyards close to the Vosne border and are rich, complex and well structured. Without doubt one of Burgundy's young stars in the ascendancy.

The vines have been farmed organically since 2006, with official certification expected in 2010

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
