2011 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles-St-Jacques, Humbert Frères

Blessed with parcels in some of the best 1er Crus in Gevrey, together with a high proportion of old vines, it is little wonder that Humbert is a top destination for some of the finest the appellation has to offer. The nose is perfumed with hints of wild violets overlaid with forest floor notes and intense morello cherries. Structured, grippy and seriously good.

2011 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.
