Domaine Gilbert Picq Chablis 1er Cru ‘Vaucoupin’

The palate is bright, chiselled, and powerfully 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 natural concentration of this steep, sun‑exposed 1er Cru site. The mid‑palate reveals grapefruit, crushed shell, white florals, and cool wet‑stone minerality, with a more pronounced saline, rocky depth than the domaine’s village wines. The finish is dry, long, and crystalline, leaving citrus peel, saline, and chalk‑mineral echoes with exceptional persistence and clarity.
