Winemaker's Notes:

Ostrea refers to the small, ancient oyster shells in the soil of this old vineyard on the Brochon side of Gevrey Chambertin. It is pretty and forward with a lovely, sweet perfume of fresh cherries and toast. In the mouth sweet cherry and cassis flavors are nicely balanced by fine, soft, smooth tannins. The finish is bright and clean with lingering fruit character.
