Tasting Notes
The premier cru of Vosgros lies to the west of the village, on south west facing plot. The Vosgros vines were planted 2/3 in the 1960s and 1/3 in the 1980s and tends to produce a beautifully tensile and complex wine. This, the 'Grand Cru' of the line starts out life with a youthful austerity, but unfolds brilliantly with bottle age to deliver a complex and minerally expression of Chablis. It is the longest-lived wine in the Picq portfolio. - Impoter Note
This small domaine located in the sleepy village of Chichée is one of Chablis's finest, a source of concentrated and incisive Chablis that are well worth seeking. Very attentive farming, conservative yields, and extended élevage on the lees in stainless steel are the rudiments of the approach. A range of Chablis AC bottlings (that would embarrass many loftier appellations) is complemented by two premiers crus; Vaucoupin and Vosgros. Perhaps Picq's wines remain the preserve of the cognoscenti because he doesn't own any of Chablis's grand cru slopes? Whatever the reason, it emphatically has nothing to do with the quality of his wines, which number among the region's best in their alliance of depth and detail, power and purity. This is an address that comes warmly recommended.
For anyone new to these wines, Pascal Picq loves working in the vines and tasting Chablis; Didier Picq loves cellar work and tasting Chablis, Champagne and Bize Savigny! Didier uses only stainless steel and is usually one of the last to bottle his wine, utilizing extended lees contact in tank for up to 22 months! Amazing wines of purity and density. - Importer Note
