Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvee 1859 2020 750ml

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.
