2023 Gilbert Picq Chablis

Based in the village of Chichée, one of the cooler, higher parts of Chablis, Domaine Gilbert Picq has earned a reputation for some of the region’s most incisive and mineral-driven wines. The domaine is now guided by Didier Picq, who has kept faith with a traditional, no-frills approach to vinification. Native yeast drives fermentations, elevage is in stainless steel, and there is no oak to be seen, delivering wines that speak purely of site. The result is classic Chablis in every sense: racy, precise, and full of the stony cut that makes the best wines from this area so thrilling.

Other Reviews....
I love the name Chichée of the village that Picq comes from. Sounds like something French people would call each other in cute, personal love language.
A pure-feeling, medium weight, gently plush and supple white with a touch of buttery slip but cool core and briny finish. Red apple, nectarine, some waxy pear notes with a little dash of cinnamon and vanilla. The finish, though stippled with a sense of minerality, also shows just a touch of sizzled butter and corn juice, but not overt, just there, a wink and nod perhaps to where Chablis’ personality creeps as the world warms and changes. Nice drink. Drink 2025-2032.

The 2023 Chablis Village was assembled for my visit by Didier Picq from 10 vats. It has an attractive if light bouquet with apple blossom and fresh pear aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a little creaminess towards the finish. This will drink well for 4-6 years. Drink 2025-2030.

There is good Chablis typicity present in the form of iodine, seashore and petrol along with citrus zest top notes. The delicious, vibrant and precise middle weight flavors flash good minerality on the clean, dry and saline-inflected finish. This is very good for its level and worth considering. Drink through 2026+.

Blend made up. Fresh pale yellow, immediate energy on the nose, this keeps growing in the glass, with good tension, even a little pleasing bitterness at the finish. Very promising. Drink from 2026-2030.
