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 domain from their parents in 1989 and since then they have steadily improved the quality of their wine. Their wines are highly sought after and excel in harmony and balance. . Emmanuel is the dynamic force behind this domain: 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: Wijhuis

ABOUT Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

With no less than 28 hectares planted with vines, this region is the largest of the nine Grands Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. Like all good wine, it starts in the vineyard, where the vines are planted on east-facing slopes of clay and limestone and the grapes receive optimal sunlight and drain quickly. Pinot Noir is the only permitted grape here; despite this limitation, the region is still known for producing some of the world's most renowned wines. Pinot Noir lovers will lose themselves in the aromatic aromas and flavors of spices, red fruits, game and mint, all of which are supported by a noticeable structure. Due to the high acidity and high tannins, the wine must be aged for at least six to eight years before opening. If you have the patience, ten to fifteen years would be even better. Some bottles can be found for as little as $200, a bargain for a Grand Cru Burgundy wine. Combine with equally aromatic dishes such as lamb or coq au vin.
