Domaine Gilbert Picq Chablis Vieilles Vignes

The palate is bright, concentrated, and deeply mineral, opening with lemon zest, green apple, and white peachcarried by racy, linear acidity that gives classic Picq tension. Texture is silky, chalk‑fine, and quietly dense, showing the extra mid‑palate weight that comes from old vines. The mid‑palate reveals grapefruit, crushed shell, white florals, and cool wet‑stone minerality, with a more pronounced chalk‑rock depth and savoury pithiness than the domaine’s younger‑vine bottlings. The finish is dry, long, and crystalline, leaving citrus peel, saline, and chalk‑mineral echoeswith exceptional persistence and clarity.
