Designation:1er Cru
Appellation: Gevrey-Chambertin
Producer: Humbert Freres

Type: Red
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Sub-Region: Cote de Nuits
Tasting Note: A rich, powerful Gevrey, packed with damson, huckleberry, leather and
spice flavors. Concentrated and pure, with persistence and a mineral
streak on the finish. (93pts. BS, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: May 31, 2008
Score: 93
Drink: 2012-25
Tasting Note: Bright, saturated ruby-red. Dark aromas
of black raspberry, minerals and smoky oak. Dense and sappy, with darker
flavors than the Petite Chapelle: black raspberry, mocha, minerals and
hints of iodine and oyster shell. Finishes tight, saline and very long,
communicating an impression of strong dry extract. (92+?pts. Stephen Tanzer)
Tasted: Mar. 2008
Score: 92+?
Drink: N/A
Tasting Note: An extremely fresh and bright red fruit and mineral-inflected nose
complements to perfection the clean, detailed and superbly energetic medium
full flavors that culminate in a sappy, serious, firm and equally explosive
finish that is driving and linear in character. This is a sophisticated
effort in both its understatement and purity. Highly recommended. (92pts. Burghound)
