2009 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles-St-Jacques, Humbert Frères

The Estournelles needs four or five years' ageing to really open up, but even at this early stage it is seductive with a lovely, deep, floral nose, a rich and very concentrated mid palate that just grow and grows on the finish, all kept in check and balance by tight tannins.

2009 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles-St-Jacques, Humbert Frères
Domaine Humbert Frères

Ten years ago, the Humbert brothers swapped roles with Manou moving into the winery and Frédéric into the vineyard, and they haven’t looked back since. A larger than life, rugby-playing winemaker, Manou draws out clear definition in his wines. There is noticeable clarity between the brothers’ many terroirs in Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin, impressive precision indeed.
