The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée 1859, which traditionally enters into the Ostrea cure, refers to the date that Trapet's grandfather purchased the first parcel (on 23 October that year to be exact), and it contains 80% whole bunch. Trapet was not 100% sure he will bottle this separately. but he most likely will, so I include it here. It has a fragrant, floral bouquet with pressed iris flowers and sous-bois, shy at first but unfolding with time. The palate is well-balanced with sappy red berry fruit, fine acidity, taut and saline with a very harmonious finish. This is wonderful.fingers crossed that Trapet sees this through to bottling. ...

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1859 derives from old vines in lieu-dit Champerrier that the Trapet family acquired in 1859. Offering up aromas of cherries, wild berries, orange rind and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with a layered core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, sapid finish.

A top note of herbal tea floats above the ripe aromas of various red berries along with plenty of floral and soft earth wisps. There is fine volume to the concentrated and quite serious medium weight flavors that coat the palate on the youthfully austere, firm and lingering finale. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth your interest.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the planet's most widely grown and enjoyed grape varietals, and thanks to the popularity of the key wines it is associated with – Burgundy and Champagne – it has successfully spread from its native home in France to much of the wine producing world. Pinot Noir means 'black pine' in French, and this refers to the extremely dark, inky color of the fruit, and the fact that it grows in conical bunches, resembling a large pine cone. It has long been revered for its wide range of refreshing, summery flavors, and the fact that it produces red wines of a beautiful garnet color and light body. More recently, sparkling wines made exclusively with Pinot Noir have been extremely popular, and the orchard notes found in the fizzy 'blanc des noirs' wines mark out just how versatile this grape varietal really is. Despite being notoriously difficult to grow, it isn't hard to see why this grape is now found in vineyards all over the world, as it is synonymous with romance and decadence, quality and fantastic flavor

Region: Burgundy

The region of Burgundy has become synonymous with high quality red wines, but in actual fact the region consistently produces a wide variety of fine wines of many different styles, rigorously protected by French wine laws designed to keep reputations and quality at a very high level. The region benefits greatly from a warm and sunny summer climate, which, coupled with the excellent quality soils which typify the region, and centuries of experience and expertise, has led to the region being known all over the world for the excellence of its produce. The majority of grapevines grown here are of the Pinot Noir varietal, which has helped Burgundy become known as the definitive region for elegant and smooth red wines, but Chardonnay grapes and many others are also grown in abundance and used to make both still and sparkling wines.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
