Located in the tiny, quiet village of Chichée, just southeast of Chablis itself, Domaine Gilbert Picq quietly produces riveting, uber classic Chablis from its holdings in and around the village. The Picq family have farmed its small collection of vines for several generations. Today, the estate is in the deft hands of Gilbert's two sons Didier and Pascal, and his daughter Marilyn Picq, each with their defined roles: Pascal is in the vines, Didier is in the cellar, and Marilyn manages the commerce. The Picq style of Chablis displays the inimitable expression of minerality that Chardonnay picks up in these rolling hillside of limestone-laden vineyards in the Yonne Valley, coupled with racy acidity and fine depth that comes with low yields, meticulous viticulture and winemaking.
Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru is a very pretty and expressive wine. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper are all beautifully lifted in a gracious, airy Chablis built on aromatics, structure and understated class. Soft, silky contours avoid any sense of austerity in a very pretty Chablis that will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is one of the most elegant.
Didier Picq is deeply respected by his peers in the region and always makes himself available to fellow vignerons, especially the youth of the region. He exudes endless love for wine and is a truly positive force in the world of wine and beyond. We are honored to work with him and his siblings.
