2021 Gilbert Picq Chablis 1er Cru 'Vosgros' 750Ml Bottle

The Picq Vosgros is sourced from 2 plots of southwest facing vines that range in age from 35-60 years old – the family’s oldest 1er cru. Fermented and aged in stainless steel for 24 months.  

"The 2021 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru is the only cuvée with a normal yield (50hl/ha) as Didier warmed the vineyard with wax candles during the frost. It has a perfumed nose with hints of pressed white flowers and a light oyster shell tincture that emerges with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, perhaps the most saline of Picq's cuvées with a long tail on the satisfying finish. Proper Chablis!" 93-95pts! - Neal Martin, Vinous

"Once again there is a plethora of Chablis elements suffusing the aromas of crushed fennel, iodine, mineral reduction, quinine and citrus confit. There is outstanding density and evident power to the larger-scaled flavors that possess plenty of sappy dry extract that also buffers the firm acid spine shaping the impressively long and complex finale. As is usually the case ... the overall quality level is excellent." 91-94pts, Outstanding! - Allen Meadows, Burghound
