2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru | Domaine Humbert
There are virtually no Grand Cru and very few Premier Cru White Burgundies available in Australia or the world.
91-94 Allen Meadows, Burghound
Generous wood sets off airy and cool aromas of mostly red berries, earth and a hint of sauvage character. There is both more volume and a lovely texture to the bigger-bodied and solidly dense flavors that conclude in a sappy, complex and toasty finale. This is quite good with fine development potential though definitely made in an oakier style
93 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
Traditional in style, this surpasses expectations. The wood notes from the elevage mark the initial attack, but behind this, there is good ripeness to the plummy fruit, with earthy notes and hints of cedar and smoke. The tannins are firm and strict, but there is enough ripeness to draw the wine to a delightful, lingering finish. The wine was fermented as 40% whole clusters and is ageing in 100% new casks.
92-93 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate
From holdings in Mazoyères, the 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, orange rind, loamy soil and rich spices. Full-bodied, layered and impressively concentrated, with rich, powdery tannins and an expansive finish, it's a strong effort in this agronomically challenging vintage.
“Take a look at the Humbert wines: you'll thank me.”
- Allan Meadows, Burghound.com
"The strong point of the Humbert estate is once again, its remarkable series of first growths, elegant, authentic, highly recommendable. The production volumes are limited, as always with the Dugat."
- Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve
“The wines of the Humbert estate are distinguished by their elegance, their finesse and their aromatic power”.
