This Domaine Humbert Frères Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is structured and concentrated. The Pinot Noir comes from old vines averaging over 50 years. This fine Pinot Noir has lovely notes of dark berries, cherries, and spices, followed by a medium-bodied palate built on fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. The Humbert Frères Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes offers a subtle sweetness in the middle of the palate along with serious rocky, briny minerality.

ABOUT DOMAINE HUMBERT FRÈRES

Brothers Emmanuel (Manou) and Frédéric Humbert are the fourth generation of wine producers at 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 estate: 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 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: Winery

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 structure than most red Burgundies. Although there were countless underachievers here in the past, the overall quality is now higher than ever and the best can develop into the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world...........

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2020 Domaine Humbert Frères Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is een prachtige, gestructureerde wijn met rijke tonen van donkere bessen, kersen en een subtiele kruidigheid. De wijn heeft een mooie balans tussen fruit, fijne tannines en levendige zuren, aangevuld met een minerale ondertoon die de complexiteit verhoogt. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij gerechten met rijke, volle smaken zoals lam en wild, vooral wanneer ze bereid zijn met kruidige of aardse ingrediënten, bijvoorbeeld gestoofd vlees of gegrild op houtskool. De zachte tannines en de fruitige intensiteit maken het ook een perfecte match voor gehaktgerechten zoals beef bourguignon of een smaakvolle stoofpot, waarbij de wijn de diepgang en de verfijning van de smaken versterkt.

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.
