COTE DE
BEAUNE-RED
David
Dubuet veered onto our radar last year, and we have been
keeping our eye on this boyish rising star in Monthˇlie ever since then. Tucked
between Volnay and Meursault, this village can offer stunning value - refined
whites and pure smoky Pinot. David Dubuet is one of the new breed (still only
25), with all the bouncy enthusiasm of a wine-maker on the rise. Our new
boy-wonder has being wooing us with his pristine Pinot Noir from the ripe 2005
vintage - a cavalcade of summer fruits, strawberries and cherries to lift the
chill from your soul. 2006s arriving in November.
The quiet village of Volnay has around ninety-five
growers and Michel Lafarge plays a central
part in its history. He was mayor of the village, as were his father and
grandfather. Famous for his reds, the 2003Õs are the epitome of Volnay finesse
and rich elegance. Lafarge also makes a very elegant, quietly classy style of
Meursault from the Volnay end of the appellation. Other highlights in his
freezing cellar were the finest Beaune Greves weÕve tasted – a rare treat, considering he makes just one
barrel. There seems to have been a seemless succession from Michel to his
son Freddy but nobody really knows who does what.
