Extremely fresh and juicy, light-bodied, cherry fruited Hautes Cotes for everyday drinking. Absolutely not a blockbuster, but shows considerable style for a wine at this level.

(Duband David Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Cuvée Louis Auguste) Medium, medium-pale ruby red. The nose starts with plenty of red berries and a slightly graphite background, holds nicely for an hour or so then slowly closes leaving only a sweet red core. Light bodied with nicely detailed red berry fruit, redcurrant, and lovely balancing acidity. There's real style here, but you have to be prepared for a wine that's less dense than most other bourgognes.
