Product Description

The Gevrey-Chambertin "Vieilles Vignes" 2023 from Domaine Humbert Frères is a concentrated, expressive Pinot Noir made from vines aged over 50 years, located in several lieux-dits across the Gevrey commune. These old vines yield naturally low quantities, resulting in a wine with richness, depth, and the signature power of Gevrey.

The 2023 vintage delivered balance and finesse, with healthy, ripe fruit and vibrant freshness. Vinified with native yeasts and minimal intervention, this cuvée is aged in French oak barrels—around one-third new—to enhance structure without masking the terroir.

• Low-yielding vines for increased concentration

• Traditional vinification with indigenous yeasts

• Aged 14–16 months in French oak (approx. 30% new)

• Bottled unfiltered to preserve energy and texture
