There was some early season frost risk that didn't do much damage but the ensuing attack of mildew was no joke as it caused quite a bit of damage. Otherwise, it was fairly easy to manage and we ultimately chose to begin picking essentially spotless fruit on the 11th of September and continued through to the 24th. Yields were perfectly good but certainly not high as they ranged from 50 to 60 hl\/ha. Potential alcohols were not especially high either at between 11.5 to 12.5% and those wines that came in at the lower levels of that range were lightly chaptalized. The acidities weren't high either, though they weren't low either as the post-malolactic pHs came in right at 3.35, which is perfectly okay if not what I would call ideal. Stylistically, I would describe them as basically classic and a blend of 2021 and 2022.\" Note that the house style is ultra-pure with no wood, and I can vouch from personal experience that the wines age extremely well. Lastly, I had the chance to review two now in-bottle wines from 2022, both of which are lovely. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heart and Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44229832343732,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/files\/2023_Gilbert_Picq_Chablis_VillageVaud_corce.png?v=1758603619"},{"product_id":"re-stock-2023-gilbert-picq-1er-cru-vaucoupin-750ml","title":"RE-STOCK 2023 Gilbert Picq 1er Cru Vaucoupin 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'The 2023 Chablis Vaucoupin ler Cru has a crisp bouquet of lime and Anjou pear, and a light grass clipping scent.
