Rich, lush and sweet, boasting terrific density to its flavors of blueberry, black raspberry and tropical dark chocolate.

Vinous (91-93)(the Humberts' vines are situated on rocky soil in the northern section of Mazoyères-Chambertin): Slightly high-toned aromas of black raspberry, currant, rocks and licorice pastille, plus a sexy note of smoky oak. The fattest and sweetest of this 2013 collection, already showing a lot of early personality to its dark fruit and licorice flavors. Turns tougher and stonier on the rather powerful, tannic back end. I can certainly envision this wine shutting down in the bottle. |

Vinous (93)Healthy dark red. Aromas and flavors of crushed black raspberry, coffee, licorice and sweet oak spices; smells creamier than the Poissenots. Fat, sweet and deep on the palate, conveying near-grand cru volume and a wonderfully silky texture. This big boy finishes very long, with fine-grained but firm tannins. |

Vinous (90-93)(from 65-year-old vines): Bright, deep red. Medicinal black cherry and minerals on the reticent nose. Densely packed and youthfully imploded, showing little in the way of early sweetness. The pungent black cherry, blackberry and licorice flavors show terrific clarity and class but will require extended aging to blossom in bottle. The tannins spread out to saturate the entire palate on the long, perfumed, violet-tinged finish. |

As primary as a barrel sample today, conveying a slightly reductive quality, not to mention a touch of rusticity, to the aromas and flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, licorice and leather. Very rich, deep premier cru with strong salty minerality and an obvious oak element to its tannins. This is the longest and most perfumed 2014 to this point in my tasting. |

Strong and sweet on the attack, showing intense, high-toned dark berry, spice and licorice flavors, then firmer and more minerally on the back end, finishing with a serious spine of fine-grained tannins and excellent supporting acidity. |

Humbert believes that many of his clients will drink this wine early, which he feels would be a pity. |

Vinous (93)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. |

Vinous (92+)Bright, dark red. Crushed black and blue fruits lifted by violet on the nose (black fruits are a sign of great phenolic maturity, noted Humbert). Saline, sappy and rich, with dark fruit, licorice and menthol flavors spreading out to saturate the palate. More minerally than the Petite Chapelle, with an element of complexity that comes from successful ripening in a cool combe. Should make a terrific accompaniment to game dishes. |

Vinous (91-93)(the crop level was normal in 2016; the Humberts own nearly one hectare out of a total of two for the appellation, with their 45-to-50-year-old vines facing full south): Bright, dark red. Very ripe, almost exotic nose conveys a hot-rocks character that reminded me of Châteauneuf du Pape! The plushest and sweetest of these premier crus, with black cherry and licorice flavors dominating. Finishes with big, ripe tannins and terrific echoing length. Conveys an impression of full phenolic maturity. |

Offers subtle mid-palate sweetness along with serious rocky, salty minerality. Finishes firm but not hard, with good energy and length. Humbert likes this village wine for its taut side in 2016. |

Vinous (93)Healthy dark red. Aromas and flavors of crushed black raspberry, coffee, licorice and sweet oak spices; smells creamier than the Poissenots. Fat, sweet and deep on the palate, conveying near-grand cru volume and a wonderfully silky texture. This big boy finishes very long, with fine-grained but firm tannins. |

Vinous (90-93)(from 65-year-old vines): Bright, deep red. Medicinal black cherry and minerals on the reticent nose. Densely packed and youthfully imploded, showing little in the way of early sweetness. The pungent black cherry, blackberry and licorice flavors show terrific clarity and class but will require extended aging to blossom in bottle. The tannins spread out to saturate the entire palate on the long, perfumed, violet-tinged finish. |

Vinous (92+)Dark red with ruby tones. As primary as a barrel sample today, conveying a slightly reductive quality, not to mention a touch of rusticity, to the aromas and flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, licorice and leather. Very rich, deep premier cru with strong salty minerality and an obvious oak element to its tannins. This is the longest and most perfumed 2014 to this point in my tasting. |

Vinous (91-93)Impressive dark ruby-red color. Slightly high-toned scents of blackberry, kirsch, crushed stone and licorice complemented by extravagant chocolate and mocha nuances. Strong and sweet on the attack, showing intense, high-toned dark berry, spice and licorice flavors, then firmer and more minerally on the back end, finishing with a serious spine of fine-grained tannins and excellent supporting acidity. |

Suave and energetic, showing distinct minerality to its flavors of dark raspberry, cherry pit and smoky soil tones. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and excellent length. Humbert believes that many of his clients will drink this wine early, which he feels would be a pity. |

Vinous (93)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. |

Vinous (92+)Bright, dark red. Crushed black and blue fruits lifted by violet on the nose (black fruits are a sign of great phenolic maturity, noted Humbert). Saline, sappy and rich, with dark fruit, licorice and menthol flavors spreading out to saturate the palate. More minerally than the Petite Chapelle, with an element of complexity that comes from successful ripening in a cool combe. Should make a terrific accompaniment to game dishes. |

Vinous (91-93)(the crop level was normal in 2016; the Humberts own nearly one hectare out of a total of two for the appellation, with their 45-to-50-year-old vines facing full south): Bright, dark red. Very ripe, almost exotic nose conveys a hot-rocks character that reminded me of Châteauneuf du Pape! The plushest and sweetest of these premier crus, with black cherry and licorice flavors dominating. Finishes with big, ripe tannins and terrific echoing length. Conveys an impression of full phenolic maturity. |

Vinous (89)Deep red. Black- and redcurrant, blackberry and licorice on the rather cool nose.

Vinous (88-90)(50% new oak): Good medium-dark red. Slightly reduced aromas of black raspberry, cherry, mocha and minerals; one can sense the cool combe influence (vines in Les Marchais make up about half of this blend). Offers subtle mid-palate sweetness along with serious rocky, salty minerality. Finishes firm but not hard, with good energy and length. Humbert likes this village wine for its taut side in 2016. |
