Picq Chablis Vaudecorse 2017

Chablis, Burgundy, France Vinous 90-92 points! Gilbert Picq Chablis En Vaudecorse is a beautiful white wine gem from this world-renowned appellation in Burgundy, showing off the natural beauty of the Chardonnay grape. The Domaine of Gilbert Picq et Ses Fils is one of the lovely, small, up-and-coming producers that dot the Chablisienne landscape. Located in the village of Chichée, just to the southeast of Chablis proper, the Picq family has cultivated its small parcels of vines for several generations, with father Gilbert now having handed over the reins to his two sons, Didier and Pascal, and his daughter Marilyn Picq. This wine is hand-harvested from a collection of hillside vineyards averaging 20 years in age, all from the commune of Chichee. "The 2017 Chablis Vaudécorse was picked on 10 September, 40-hectolitres in total. It has a floral, buttercup and dandelion scented bouquet that is very well defined and focused. The palate is well delineated with a little rondeur on the entry, smooth and harmonious with a precise, tightly-coiled finish that will benefit from a year or so in bottle. This is a stylish Chablis from Picq."-Vinous, 90-92 points! Enjoy Picq Chablis En Vaudecorse with grilled sausages, roast chicken, grilled halibut, lobster salad and cheeses.
