I was really impressed with this collection from Didier Picq. The wines are so much more refined than they were a few years ago, when the house style was often more about brawn than finesse. That is hardly the case today. Specifically, some of the village-level cuvées are incredibly delicious.

I have been visiting this domaine for several years now, the ambassador in many way for Zen-like Chablis. Vines, fruit, stainless steel, no wood contact, into bottle. That’s the simplicity of Picq. Their razor-sharp, saline Chablis can be thrilling. “We picked from 6 September to 12 September and cropped at 55hl/ha,” Gilbert Picq informed me. “It was very rapid because of the maturity. The pH levels are around 3.25. We had to do very little chaptalization and we will bottle at the end of October.” If you seek out razor-sharp Chablis that has seen nary a speck of wood then Picq is the place to come. They can be uncompromising wines that might feel rather stark on their own, yet matched with some fruits de mer they really come alive. I always think their Chablis Vieilles Vignes shows extremely well and the 2017 is a peach.
