Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Wine Advocate 91–92 pts
Burghound 91–93 pts
  • 91–92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Poissenot derives from the coolest premier cru in the commune, with some 80% active calcium and a mere 20 centimeters of soil. Exhibiting scents of red berries, potpourri and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with melting tannins, tangy acids and an intensely saline finish.
  • 91–93 Points - Allen Meadows (Burghound): Pungent aromas of wood and reduction introduce highly refined, energetic and precise medium-bodied flavors that possess a seductive texture along with even more minerality on the moderately austere, balanced and sneaky long finale. Lovely potential.
  • The "Poissenots" Premier Cru Terroir: Perched high on the slope directly above Estournelles-Saint-Jacques at the exit of the Combe de Lavaux. Its thin, stony, limestone-dominated soils and cool airflow produce a wine celebrated for tensile energy, floral elegance, and distinct mineral precision.
  • Humbert Frères Craftsmanship: Brothers Emmanuel and Frédéric Humbert steward their old-vine holdings with meticulous vineyard work and traditional vinification. The 2021 highlights transparency and finesse, utilizing thoughtful oak aging to enhance texture while preserving the climat’s natural freshness.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant ruby-red in color, it opens with pure aromas of wild raspberries, dark cherries, and fresh violet pastille, complemented by notes of damp earth, black tea, and crushed limestone. The palate is medium-bodied, linear, and finely structured, carrying crunchy red fruit across chalky, fine-grained tannins and energetic acidity that leads to a persistent, mineral-driven finish.
