還原作用加上充足的烘烤木頭味，令這酒很難評估。它具有良好的濃度和礦物感，餘韻悠長，收結樸素具新鮮感。單寧細膩，是一款低調、具鹹感的經典Poissenot。

The Humbert Frères estate is managed by the brothers Frédéric and Emmanuel Humbert. They are the passionate winegrowers, who take care of its seven hectares vineyard. Although it is modest in size, it benefits from one the most well-known terroirs of Burgundy reds, Gevrey-Chambertin. The vineyard is composed of old Pinot Noir vines, exceeding 50 years. The vinification is traditional, grapes destemmed and done by natural fermentation.

Tasting Notes: 
(Allen Meadows' rating: 89-92 points)
Soft reduction but with ample wood toast renders this tough to evaluate as well. The finer if not denser medium-bodied flavors possess both good intensity and minerality while delivering sneaky good length on the linear and youthfully austere finale. The supporting tannins are relatively fine and overall this is a classic Poissenot of understatement and salinity.
