2020 Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea"

The old vine bottling of Ostrea, which hails from four parcels of vines that lie near the Brochon border in Gevrey, many of which were planted all the way back in 1919. These very old vines seem to be less bothered by seasons with hydric stress such as 2020 and the wine has really turned out beautifully this year, offering up a very classy nose of cassis, black cherries, espresso, grilled meats, a fine base of black minerality, a touch of bonfire and cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and again, really sappy at the core, with lovely transparency and grip, fine-grained tannins and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. Superb juice. (Drink between 2030-2070)
