Didier Picq brought in his 2012s between the end of September and early October. Yields were down 30-35%, with early flowering parcels on the Right Bank most affected by hail and coulure (shatter). Picq's 2012 are big, rich wines very much in the style the house is known for. The 2011s, on the other hand, are the product of a more generous and earlier ripening vintage that yielded a set of immediate wines best suited to near-term drinking.

Didier Picq's wines are always on the big side, and that is amplified in 2011. Picq harvested his 2011s from September 6 to 15, which is to say slightly on the late side relative to his peers. Of course, the 2011s are still very young. It will be interesting to see what direction they take over the coming year. I also tasted all of the tanks that will be blended into the straight Chablis. The 2010s also showed beautifully across the board.
