Domaine Humbert Frères Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru Craipillot
Wine Information
A small vineyard of just under three hectares, Premier Cru Craipillot makes wines that Manou Humbert describes as ‘feminine’ in style, especially compared to the power and weight of Estournelles St. Jacques. The 65 year old vines lie just above Gevrey-Chambertin itself. A mid-weight palate here provides elegant red and black fruits and gentle spice on the nose, and delicate cassis, raspberry and strawberry flavours on the palate. Oak is extremely well-managed in order to allow the fruit to come to the fore; the pretty berry character will mellow into typical gaminess of Pinot Noir, ably supported by the vintage’s freshness on the finish. An understated wine that will suit those eager to begin drinking it earlier than some of the other wines from this domaine.
