Bright red-ruby. Wild aromas of black raspberry and smoked meat. Fat and sweet, with a gamey, smoky quality that screams out Gevrey-Chambertin. More deeply pitched and earth-bound than the Vieilles Vignes and a bit less obviously sweet today. Rich but still youthfully unforthcoming. Finishes with substantial mouthcoating tannins and very good length.

The ripe black, blue and violet aromas are trimmed by a deft touch of wood and merge into rich, full, sweet and detailed fresh and lively flavors filled with plenty of personality on the somber, serious but superbly intense finish. This packs ample punch and striking backend intensity on the detailed finish that is brimming with minerality. I very much like the understated style that doesn't suppress the feminine personality.

Notes

Domaine Humbert Frères farms a small collection of parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin, focusing on careful vineyard stewardship across the village’s limestone- and clay-based slopes. The 1er Cru Craipillot vineyard sits on the southern edge of Gevrey near Morey-St-Denis, where well-drained limestone soils and mid-slope exposures shape a precise expression of Pinot Noir. The 2005 bottling centers on the pedigree of this 1er Cru site and the domaine’s vineyard-driven philosophy within the Côte de Nuits.
