The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea" comprises around 70% whole cluster this year and comes from parcels around the village of Brochon. This has an elegant bouquet of gorgeous wild strawberry and raspberry preserve aromas, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and well-judged acidity, and so juicy that it is nigh impossible to detect the stem addition. This might well constitute the best "Ostrea" I have tasted from Trapet. ... More details

This is very perfumed with floral, spice and strawberry aromas that follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins and a racy, refined finish. Delicate finish. Bright and beautiful. So delicious now, but will age nicely.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea is a brilliant bottle that comes from four different parcels around the village of Brochon, with some of the vines going back all the way to 1919. The name Ostrea refers to the oyster shells found in the parcels designated for this cuvée. Fermented with 30% stems and aged in roughly 30-40% new French oak, it reveals a medium ruby/plum color as well as a textbook Gevrey nose of darker currant and black raspberry fruits supported by loamy earth, bouquet garni, and assorted spices. Medium-bodied on the palate, with nicely integrated oak, it has the vintage's up-front fruit yet still brings plenty of tannic structure, good acidity, and outstanding length. It needs an hour or so in a decanter if drinking any time soon and will have another 15+ years of prime drinking ahead of it.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea is showing beautifully, unwinding in the glass with a deeper-pitched bouquet of cassis, dark berry fruit, baking chocolate, rich soil tones and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and mineral, this has a more structured, tensile profile than the domaine's regular Gevrey, as well as greater reserves of tightly wound fruit. As readers will remember, this cuvée derives from old vines in the commune of Brochon.

Once again there is a subtle but not invisible dollop of wood suffusing the notably floral-inflected aromas of earth, forest floor and various dark berries. There is outstanding volume and mid-palate density to the opulent yet impressively well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that pack very good power and punch on the long, complex and balanced finale. This too is excellent for its level and one to look for provided you can give it at least 6 to 8 years first as it's pretty tightly wound.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.

Region: Burgundy

There are few more famous wine regions in the world than Burgundy, and this special area has given much to raise the profile of fine French wines around the world. Although most commonly associated with excellent quality red wines made with the Pinot Noir varietal, this region is home to several red and white varietals and produces and impressive range of wines, from still to sparkling, dry to sweet, full bodied and aged, and from to light and drinkable. The region of Burgundy has been producing excellent wines for centuries, with much evidence to suggest that the ancient Gauls were the first to cultivate the native vines which flourish here in the warm summers, and on the excellent soil fed by local rivers. This type of heritage has led to a wine industry highly unique, deeply traditional, and with an exquisite reputation to uphold.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
