Description
The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Poissenot comes from the coldest (cool) located premier cru in the municipality of Gevrey-Chambertin with about 80% active calcium and only 20 centimeters of soil. This gives the wine fantastic acidity and a serious mineral character. In the nose a pallet of scents of red berries, potpourri and herbs. In the mouth it is medium to full bodied, elegant and supple with melting tannins, spicy acidity and an intense salty mineral aftertaste.
ABOUT DOMAINE HUMBERT FRÈRES
The brothers Emmanuel (Manou) and Frédéric Humbert are the fourth generation of wine producers of the Humbert family estate. They took over the estate from their parents in 1989 and have steadily improved the quality of their wine ever since. Their wines are highly sought after and excel in harmony and balance. . Emmanuel is the dynamic force behind this domain: a thoughtful and passionate man with a great love for wine, food and rugby. Ten years ago, the Humbert brothers switched roles with Manou moving to the winery and Frédéric to the vineyard, and they haven't looked back since. Manou, a larger-than-life, rugby-playing winemaker, brings a clear definition to his wines. There is noticeable clarity between the brothers' many terroirs in Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin, impressive precision indeed. Read more in the Tab: Wijhuis
ABOUT GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest wine-producing village in the Burgundian Côte d'Or. Located in the far north of the Côtes de Nuits, the Classic style is typically deeper in color, firmer in body and more tannic in texture than most red Burgundies. While there have been numerous underachievers here in the past, the overall quality is now higher than ever and the best has the potential to develop into the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world...........

On the domain, the emphasis is on manual working methods, including ploughing, green harvesting, if necessary, thinning of leaves and bunches. The grapes undergo a cool maceration of several days before fermentation in temperature-controlled vats. Over-extraction and too firm tannins are always avoided. All wines mature in Burgundy oak barrels from the forests around Châtillon. 50% new oak for all wines, except for the grand cru Charmes-Chambertin, which is aged on 100% new oak.
