Description
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.

Varietal
Pinot Noir
Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
