The Domaine David Duband Aux Thorey has aruby red color. This wine is clear and brilliant. The aroma is a combination of red and black berries, with strawberries and raspberries taking the lead. Notes of iris add depth to the fruit-filled nose. The finish is satisfyingly elegant and indulgent. Pair with roasted Bresse chicken for a delightful culinary experience.
