Tasting notes
The 2013 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Broc from Domaine David Duband comes from a producer that I have not visited for a while. I used to find Duband’s wines a little oaky for my liking. Yet, this 2013 (a useful red Burgundy vintage) is drinking nicely. There remains a patina of new oak on the nose, but it is neatly subsumed into the raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, and a hint of Earl Grey. The palate delivers the structure one expects from this appellation. There is grip here, perhaps even just a modicum of austerity on the finish, but overall, I find this balanced and certainly drinking perfectly at the moment.

70-80% whole bunch. Lightish ruby with a slight brick edge at the rim. Smells more mature than the Gevrey 2013, with a little more undergrowth. Slightly firmer tannins too with a little less harmony at the moment. Fine chalky sweet finish, light on the mid palate but not austere. (JH)
