Magnum Gevrey-Chambertin Red "Ostrea" 2021 | Wine from Domaine Trapet Père et Fils

The Domaine Trapet Père et Fils, founded in 1870 by Louis Trapet, is currently run by Jean-Louis Trapet. As the heir to ancestral expertise, Jean-Louis continues a philosophy respectful of the terroir, with a biodynamic approach since 1995. The domain's 15 hectares include prestigious plots in Gevrey-Chambertin and emblematic Grand Crus such as Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin, and Latricières-Chambertin. Each vintage is a testament to the pure and authentic expression of the Burgundian terroir.

The Magnum Gevrey-Chambertin Red "Ostrea" 2021 comes from four meticulously selected plots, including a historic plot with the old vines of the domain. The soils, rich and varied, combine mineral notes with a balanced tannic structure. The aging process in the cellar, carried out with care and patience, allows the wine to reveal its full complexity and depth.

The Magnum Gevrey-Chambertin Red "Ostrea" 2021 presents a deep red color with garnet reflections that immediately captures the eye. On the nose, it unveils intense aromas of fresh red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, subtly mixed with notes of soft spices, undergrowth, and a delicate mineral touch. On the palate, its silky and elegant texture is supported by fine and structured tannins, while the perfectly balanced acidity brings a remarkable freshness. The long and persistent finish reveals a refined minerality, offering a beautiful aromatic complexity.

This wine pairs ideally with a coq au vin stewed with seasonal vegetables, a grilled rib of beef accompanied by a red wine sauce, a veal roast with chanterelles, or even aged cheeses such as Époisses or Brillat-Savarin. These pairings highlight the wine's delicate structure and deep aromas of this exceptional wine.
