Tasting Notes
Vinous 91/100
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea", which contains around 40% whole bunch fruit, has a broody but quite compelling bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit on the entry, a fine line of acidity and a classic, almost "nonchalant", self-effacing finish that is just a pure joy.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2032
Robert Parker 89-91
Fermented with over one-third whole cluster, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea derives from old vines in the commune of Brochon. Revealing aromas of sweet berry fruit, grilled meats and dark chocolate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a supple, nicely concentrated palate and a long, mineral finish.

There is a whiff of herbal tea to the attractively spicy and notably floral aromas of mostly cool red berry and soft earth. I like the sense of vibrancy to the delicious and solidly well-detailed middle weight flavors that offer reasonably good depth with excellent length. Note that this should develop better complexity with age and overall, it’s a fine villages level wine.
