    The Picq family has farmed its small collection of vines for several generations. Today, the estate is in the hands of Gilbert's two sons Didier and Pascal. Didier uses only stainless steel and is usually one of the last to bottle his wine, utilising extended lees contact in tank for up to 22 months! Amazing wines of purity and density. The wines are naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in stainless steel tanks to protect the underlying expressions of terroir. You won't find a single stave of wood in the entire winery. The serious work in the vineyards can immediately be felt in the Picq wines. The winery is a classic case of how truly amazing wines can be made from more humble vineyards when given the utmost attention and care on all levels.

    Award:
    An expressive, fresh and ripe nose freely offers up its aromas of mostly white orchard fruit and floral wisps that possess plenty of classic Chablis typicity. The nicely rich and attractively vibrant middleweight flavors exude a subtle salinity on the clean, dry and sneaky long finish. This is lovely for its level and worth considering.” 89-91 points – Allen Meadows, Burghound

    “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.” 89-91 points – Neal Martin, Vinous
