Gevrey-Chambertin Red 1er Cru "Poissenot" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Humbert Frères

The Domaine Humbert Frères, managed by Frédéric and Emmanuel Humbert, is a key reference in Gevrey-Chambertin. With expertise passed down from generation to generation, the domaine tends its vines with deep respect for the terroir, focusing on precise vinifications and careful aging. The 1er Cru Poissenot, situated on an extremely calcareous soil, produces wines of remarkable freshness and exceptional complexity.

The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Poissenot" 2022 comes from vines planted on an exceptional terroir: 80% active calcium, with only 20 cm of soil, which gives it an intense minerality and vibrant acidity. This particular climate makes it the freshest 1er Cru of Gevrey-Chambertin, allowing for slow maturation and a pure expression of Pinot Noir. The careful aging in oak barrels enhances its natural balance between finesse and power.

This 1er Cru "Poissenot" 2022 features a sparkling ruby color. Its nose is expressive and complex, revealing aromas of red berries (raspberry, redcurrant), potpourri, and subtle spices. On the palate, it stands out with a homogeneous and supple texture, with silky tannins and sharp acidity that bring a magnificent freshness. The saline and persistent finish leaves an unforgettable mineral imprint.

This Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Poissenot" 2022 is an excellent companion for roasted meats, such as a beef fillet or duck breast with red berries. It also pairs elegantly with game birds, like a stuffed pigeon or roasted quail. For a more rustic tasting, serve it with an aged cheese like Epoisses or old Comté.
