2017 Domaine Trapet Père & Fils Ostrea: Gevrey-Chambertin Purity

The 2017 Domaine Trapet Père & Fils Ostrea Gevrey-Chambertin Rouge 750ml captures the regal depth of historic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir. In particular, the Ostrea cuvée is sourced from prized old vines planted in fossil-rich, oyster-shell limestone soils. In addition, the celebrated 2017 vintage allowed the grapes to achieve radiant red fruit purity, supple tannins, and transparent terroir cut.

Tasting Notes for 2017 Domaine Trapet Père & Fils Ostrea

The wine opens with enchanting aromas of wild dark cherries, black raspberries, violets, and forest floor. Furthermore, subtle undertones of crushed rock, licorice root, and light wood smoke appear with decanting. On the palate, fine, chalky tannins support a mineral-laced mid-palate of concentrated wild berries. Consequently, the finish lingers with pristine fruit clarity, energy, and lingering savory depth.

Estate History and Heritage

Domaine Trapet Père & Fils is one of the most venerable and deeply rooted estates in Gevrey-Chambertin. Specifically, the Trapet family has farmed vines here since 1870, stewarding iconic holdings across Chambertin and neighboring crus. Moreover, Jean-Louis Trapet pioneered biodynamic farming in Burgundy by converting the entire estate in the 1990s.

Today, Jean-Louis and his sons craft wines of unmanipulated grace, intellectual depth, and terroir expression. As a result, Cuvée Ostrea embodies the pinnacle of organic Gevrey-Chambertin pedigree.
