Domaine Humbert Frères

The Humbert brothers, Frédéric and Emmanuel, have wine in their blood and the earth pegged to their hearts. Men of few words, but always just and profound, they embody in themselves the common sense of the peasant, or rather winegrower. The domaine humbert frères has always been family, the two brothers, cousins of the Dugats, have been in charge since 1989. They exploit around Gevrey-Chambertin 7 hectares of vines, only in ownership.
The plot is remarkable and the plant material, largely old vines (more than 40 years) is not to be outdone. If the Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is the flagship of the estate, the Humberts also have the chance to exploit very qualitative 1st growths, such as Poissenot (contiguous to the estournelles, lavaux and clos st jacques). The vinification is traditional, grapes destemmed, punching down and regular pumping over rather long vatting. The wines are cut for aging and express themselves wonderfully after a few years of aging.
