A village-level Pinot Noir from biodynamic pioneer Domaine Trapet, this old-vine cuvée comes from parcels planted between 1913 and 1920, their oldest on record. The name Ostrea derives from fossilized oysters found in the soil—a testament to the ancient mineral-rich terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin. On the nose, ripe red and dark raspberry mingle with violet and earthy minerality. The palate shows excellent richness and density with a subtle mineral thread throughout, finishing firm and austere in youth, promising graceful aging ahead.

"From very old vines situated in Clos du Village and Combe du Bas. This is also quite pretty and fresh with its airy aromas of both red and dark currant and iron-inflected nuances. The elegant and beautifully detailed middle weight flavors are not especially dense but I like the refinement and energy, all wrapped in a dusty, youthfully austere and sneaky long finish."

"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea comes from a single parcel in En Combe du Bas. This has a lovely bouquet with touches of dark cherry, blackcurrant leaf and pressed violet. The palate is well balanced with ample body, dark berry fruit tones laced with white pepper and clove and a grippy finish with a touch of licorice on the aftertaste. It is very fine. Drink: 2027-2040." —Neal Martin

"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea is fleshy and vibrant, offering up aromas of plums, cherries, berries and smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate framed by chalky tannins. The Trapet family has produced an attractive set 2023s. As readers will remember, there have been a host of changes at this address in recent years: in 2020, fully seven hectares of the domaine's holdings were converted both to échalas and to higher trellising stakes and wires, depending on the steepness of the slope. Since then, changes have been rolled out in other parcels too. Given the extent of Trapet's holdings in prime climats, that means that the walk from Morey-Saint-Denis to Gevrey-Chambertin suddenly looks rather different. In the cuverie, winemaking continues to be classical, with important percentages of whole clusters, followed by élevage in ever diminishing percentages of new oak, with foudres joining barrels in the cellar."

More about Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils

Domaine Trapet is not exactly a new name in Burgundy. They've been growing grapes in Gevrey-Chambertin since the 1800s, and have amazing parcels in all the best vineyards, up to and including Le Chambertin. Back in the day, they sold their best grapes to the likes of Domaine Drouhin and Maison Leroy.

But since the 1960s, they've been bottling their own wines. The style has fluctuated a bit, as styles have varied with the generations. Today the domaine is run by Jean-Louis Trapet, whose style can best be summarized as a laser-like focus on making delicious Pinot Noir.

Here are the technicalities of that: light extraction (a touch of bâtonnage or punching down at the beginning of fermentation, but just remontage—pumping over—after that), very little new oak, and whole-cluster when the grapes are ideally healthy (which is quite often, as the farming is biodynamic).

This sounds like what many of Burgundy's best are doing today. But in one area Trapet departs: while "reductive" wine-making is all the rage (limiting the wine's exposure to oxygen), Trapet likes to make his wines open and accessible from release, including by using as little sulfur as possible in the process. That's how he makes his Pinot Noir so delicious!

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

VineyardFour fossil-rich parcels near the Brochon border planted in 1919. Old vines, many nearing 90 years of age. The name "Ostrea" refers to the oyster shells found in and around these parcels.OrientationSoutheastSoilDiverse array of clay/limestone, fossil rich soilsViticultureThe vineyard is farmed using biodynamic practices and all grapes are harvested by hand, sorted once in the vineyard and again at the winery. Up to 10% of the crop may be rejected.VinificationVinification with traditional methods, open vat fermentation using native yeasts, 30% stem inclusion and minimal use of sulpher.AgingThe wine is aged in French barriques of which 30-75% is new depending on vintage.
