The 2023 Domaine Gilbert Picq et ses Fils “Dessus La Carrière” Chablis is a classic, terroir-driven Chardonnay sourced from old vines planted above an ancient limestone quarry, where extremely shallow Kimmeridgian soils deliver intensity, salinity, and precision.
Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged primarily in stainless steel, it emphasizes purity and minerality over oak influence. The nose opens with oyster shell, wet stone, lemon confit, and green apple layered with hints of pear and subtle floral notes, while the palate is vibrant and structured, combining crisp citrus, orchard fruit, and a chalky texture with mouthwatering acidity.
Medium-bodied yet tense and focused, it carries through a long, saline, mineral finish with a touch of spice, showing both immediate freshness and the ability to evolve into greater complexity over time.
