Product Description
The 2023 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru "Estournelles Saint-Jacques" from Domaine Humbert is a classic Premier Cru Pinot Noir delivering exceptional power and finesse. Situated on well-drained limestone and clay soils on the mid-slope of the Côte de Nuits, the Estournelles vineyard produces wines known for their richness balanced by vibrant minerality and elegant tannins.

Crafted with traditional methods including native yeast fermentation and aged in French oak barrels (around 40% new) for 14–16 months, this wine expresses pure terroir character with great depth and aging potential.

Low yields from old vines promote concentration and complexity.
