This Domaine Humbert Frères Vieilles Vignes Fixin is structured and concentrated. The Pinot Noir comes from old vines averaging over 50 years. Aromas of raspberry and spices, plus a light green note. Sweet and smooth on the palate, with aromas of red fruit, complicated by smoky earthy notes. Finishes with good length and lighter tannins than most Fixins.

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 Domaine Humbert Frères Vieilles Vignes Fixin toont een geconcentreerd en gestructureerd smaakprofiel met frisse framboosnuances, kruidige en licht groene toetsen, zoete en soepele roodfruitaroma's en een subtiele rokerige bodemtonen met relatief zachte tannines en een aangename lengte. Omdat de wijn kracht en precisie combineert zonder te zwaar te worden, sluit hij prachtig aan bij gevogelte zoals geroosterde of licht gekruide kip en eend, bij charcuterie en licht gerookte vleeswaren die de kruidigheid en rooktonen versterken, en bij kazen van licht tot middeloud type waarbij zachte tot licht pikante smaken in balans blijven; bereidingen als langzaam geroosterd of gegrild, met kruiden de stijl van tijm en rozemarijn of een lichte rokerige bereiding, werken daarbij bijzonder goed.

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.
