This wine is 100% Chardonnay grown in the limestone soils and cool northern climate in the Chablis region of France. Showing classically brilliant minerality and the classic hint of green hue one associates with textbook Chablis, this stainless steel offering from Gilbert Picq represents tremendous value. Picq' Chablis is drinking like a 1er cru wine rather than AC Chablis level, with flinty, mineral stony character, bracing acidity and crisp, laser focused fruit..

The 2022 Chablis Village was picked at 60hl/ha, triple the amount in the frost-decimated previous year. Originating from the usual parcels and raised entirely in stainless steel, it has a brisk nose with Granny Smiths, lime and wet stone. Classic Chablis. The palate is well-balanced, with a bitter lemon entry lending tension. Taut and linear, it delivers a refreshing, spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine.
