Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points 

“The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea comes from three parcels on unique fossil-rich limestone soils. It has a very composed and harmonious bouquet: joyful blackcurrant and raspberry fruit, hints of orange sorbet and orange rind emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin. There is real succulence here, hints of blue fruit lending it an almost Marsannay-like character towards the terroir-driven, mineral-led finish. This is excellent.” 

John Gilman, 91 Points 

“The 2015 Ostrea Gevrey blend is a lovely wine, with the cuvée recalling a bit the 2009 vintage chez Trapet in its aromatic constellation of baked black cherries and plums, roasted meats, raw cocoa, a fine base of soil and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, youthful and rock solid at the core, with firm, ripe tannins, excellent focus and backend soil drive, tangy acids and a very, very long, primary finish. This will need time in the cellar to blossom, but it will be a fine bottle in its prime. 2022-2050.” 

Burghound, 90 Points 

“This is aromatically similar to the straight Gevrey cuvée with the exception that it is more restrained and even more floral-suffused. There is a beguiling sense of energy to the beautifully well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that are more mineral-driven on the racy, dusty, sappy and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is an excellent Gevrey villages though note that it will require at least some patience as it’s presently quite firm. Recommended. 2025+” 

Vinous, 90 Points 

“Moderately saturated medium red. Deep aromas of plum, raspberry and flinty, smoky minerality; one senses rocks here. Suppler and sweeter than the basic village Gevrey, but still with a bit of reserve to its plum, smoke and game flavors. This is silky and ripe–even a bit plump–but avoids coming off as heavy owing to its nicely integrated acidity. Not a high-pitched wine but a lovely soil expression.”
