Tasting notes
(Outstanding)<br /> More deeply pitched and slightly less elegant aromas are comprised by notes of plum, dark currant, forest floor and whiffs of game and herbal tea. There is excellent density and power to the broad-shouldered yet still reasonably refined flavors that flash a bracing salinity on the refreshing and impressively long if slightly warm finale. This is always a solid Gevrey villages and 2019 is no exception.

Derived from old vines in the commune of Brochon, Trapet's 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea offers up aromas of cherries, raw cocoa and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, it's deeper and more introverted—and more of a long-haul prospect—than the domaine's immensely charming regular Gevrey, with a layered core and a long, mineral finish.
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea" comes from three parcels near Brochon, the oldest vines of the domaine, and is raised 30% in demi-muids . Deep in color, it has a concentrated bouquet of dark berry fruit, raspberry coulis and blackberry, plus tobacco and light graphite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and pure fruit. Elegant and almost understated toward the finish, which fans out and exerts a gentle grip. I can imagine this being early-drinking, but it also has the substance to age in bottle.
