Humbert Freres, Charmes Chambertin, 2013
A Grand Cru with a decade-plus of bottle age, ready to go. Brothers Frédéric and Emmanuel Humbert run this small Gevrey-Chambertin domaine in the traditional Côte de Nuits style — small yields, careful élevage, no flash. Charmes-Chambertin is the most accessible and perfumed of Gevrey's Grands Crus, a wine of supple red fruit and silken texture rather than the structural muscle of a Mazis or Chambertin itself. 2013 was a small, cool vintage that produced delicate, transparent Burgundies — and twelve years on, this is exactly where you want a 2013 Grand Cru to be: aromatically expressive, the structure integrated, fruit still intact, drinking right in the meat of its window.
