2017 | Domaine Trapet | Gevrey Chambertin Ostrea

This is full-bodied and solid with dark-berry and strawberry aromas and flavors. Some forest fruit, too. The tannins spread across the palate, but remain integrated and fresh.

Reviews:

• Vinous: This is full-bodied and solid with dark-berry and strawberry aromas and flavors. Some forest fruit, too. The tannins spread across the palate, but remain integrated and fresh. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

• James Suckling: The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea", which contains around 40% whole bunch fruit, has a broody but quite compelling bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit on the entry, a fine line of acidity and a classic, almost "nonchalant", self-effacing finish that is just a pure joy.

Producer Information

Domaine Trapet is a wine company comprised of two estates, one in Alsace, the other in Burgundy. The company in its current dual-region configuration formed when Andrée Trapet inherited her parents' vineyards in Alsace in 2002. Her husband Jean-Louis has run Domaine Trapet Père et Fils in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1990, when he took over from his father Jean. The latter property is one of the great historic estates of the Côte de Nuits. There are 16 hectares (39.5 acres) of estate vineyards, led by parcels in Le Chambertin (a very substantial 1.9ha), Latricières-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin. The deep, concentrated wines from these grand cru sites are the flagship bottlings, but the Trapet Père et Fils portfolio also includes fine Pinot Noir from three premier cru and two village-level vineyards, as well as highly rated red and white Marsannay and Bourgogne Rouge and Blanc. The portfolio of Domaine Trapet-Alsace includes bottlings from five grand crus: Schoenenbourg, Schlossberg, Sporen, Sonnenglanz and the recently added Mambourg. Village wines (Riesling and Gewurztraminer) come from Riquewihr and Beblenheim. A multivarietal Alsace Blanc, A Minima, is the counterpart of a Bourgogne Passetoutgrains Gamay-Pinot Noir red.
