2023 Humbert Freres Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles Saint Jacques

Estournelles Saint-Jacques is a tiny premier cru on the upper slope at the entrance to the Combe de Lavaux, just above Lavaux Saint-Jacques and beside the famous Clos Saint-Jacques. Its white marl soils echo those of Chambertin, and the cool air drawn through the combe lengthens ripening. This is the finer, more perfumed foil to the firmer Poissenot. Humbert often makes only a single barrel, so very little reaches Australia.

Domaine Humbert Frères (Gevrey-Chambertin)
A tiny seven-hectare Pinot Noir estate run by brothers Frédéric and Emmanuel Humbert, cousins of the Dugat family. Old vines, low yields and a traditional, unshowy cellar make deep, structured wines built for the cellar.
