Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée Ostrea 2022

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This intriguing wine has a lovely currant fruit aroma with notes of cedar and peppery spice, along with a savoury element that Louis Trapet qualifies as 'blood', which he attributes to the soil's iron content. There is a surprising freshness and harmony to this wine, produced from the parcel they call Clos du Combe in the lieu-dit Combe du Bas just outside the village. The other parcels that had been blended with this (En Dérée and Champerrier) are now used to make the cuvée 1859. Drinking Window: 2027-2065. (11/2/23)"

90-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A notable intense fresh purple. Now just Clos de Combes, a substantial plot purchased from Domaine Rebourseau - back in 1924! Lots of iron oxide, which I could predict given the blood orange taste in this wine, along with fresh strawberry. Good fruit acid balance, and length. (Nov 2023)"

90-92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea is excellent, mingling aromas of cherries and raspberries with notions of peonies, spices and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate framed by supple tannins and lively acids. It concludes with a precise, saline finish. (1/18/24)"

90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea" comes from a single plot from Au Combe du Bas and includes 30-40% whole bunches. It has fine clarity on the nose: brambly red fruit, briar and pressed violets unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip on the entry. It has fine structure, slightly chalky towards the finish, but it should flesh out during the remainder of its élevage. Drink: 2026-2045. (Jan 2024)"

91 points/'Very Good+,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Gevrey Ostrea is a special cuvee made with a high percentage of millerandage grapes from the best village plots. It comes from a hectare of vines planted in 1924, and the combination of millerandage and century-old vines gives it a special silkiness. This shows good intensity for a 2022 village. Drink from 2032. (1/11/24)"
