2016 CHABLIS, 1er Cru Vosgros, Gilbert Picq. Burgundy

Chablis is a cool, northern area. Despite commercial popularity the wines are not ‘easy’. Initially they seem light and innocuous, with searing, razor-sharp acidity. Give them air, and allow the palate a minute to adjust, for the subtle intensity and complexity to become evident.
Vosgros is a 13 hectare vineyard, south of the town of Chablis, well away from most of the other Premier Crus (but on soil rich in limestone).

100% Chardonnay, fermented and matured in stainless steel.

The Picq domaine is based in the hamlet of Chichée, just 3km south of Chablis. The domaine has been established in the region for several generations, with Didier Picq now in charge of wine-making, while his brother Pascal looks after the vineyards. Daughter Marilyn looks after the commercial side in the office.

Absolutely classic Chablis – lively, pure, direct.
