Domaine Gilbert Picq Chablis 2006

Since 1976, father and sons have been running this small domaine where all the vines are situated in the commune of Chichée about 3 km south of Chablis on the left bank of the Serein. The terroir of Chichée does not yield high alcohol wines and Didier Picq has been keen to keep the need to capitalize to a minimum by moderating his yields. Chablis is the Northern section of Burgundy where Chardonnay grapes rule. Aromas of tangerine, orange and curry powder, with a slightly grilled character. Round, rich and dry, with fresh acidity.
