Note di degustazione
The 2001 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Poissenot from Domaine Humbert Frères offers up a bouquet dominated by tertiary notes: chocolate, coffee, game bird and a framing of wood. On the palate, the wine is nicely structured, with cool acids, good focus and a fine-grained chassis of tannin, its finish dry rather than generous. This wine certainly has merit, given the challenges of the year, but it begs the question: did the grapes actually ripen?

Pale to mid ruby. Sweet talcy nose. Very firm structure with fine fruit in the middle fleshing it out. Very lively and quite assertive. Hint of orange aroma. (JR)
Saturated ruby-red; one of the darkest 2001s I tasted in Burgundy this fall. Very ripe aromas of dark berries, tar and licorice show a porty quality but in a fresh way. Quite rich and plush but youthful in the mouth, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the complex, spicy flavors of dark berries, black cherry and licorice complicated by leather and flowers. This is really stuffed with fruit: no hole in the middle here! The fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins arrive late. Emmanuel Humbert described this wine as "a vin de garde style from the start," with the sound malic acidity that's to his taste. He noted that 2001 was a bit like 2010 in that the wines started out austere. He was also punching down much more back then, and this is certainly a classic, slowly evolving Burgundy.
