Gilbert Picq Chablis Vieilles Vignes 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. Vieilles Vignes is hand-harvested from three plots of vines that are all over 50 years old.

“Including premier cru Vaudécorse this year, Picq's 2021 Chablis Vieilles Vignes is a highlight of the range, exhibiting aromas of honeyed citrus fruit, crisp green apple and oyster shell, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping palate that's racy and saline, concluding with a penetrating finish. Drink 2023-2036.”—William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 91 points! (on the 2021)
