Gilbert Picq Chablis Vaucoupin 1Er 2023

The 2023 Vaucoupin 1er Cru is a precise, mineral-driven Chablis that balances intensity and elegance. The bouquet is fresh and refined, with notes of white flowers, citrus confit, sea spray and a hint of quinine, while the palate reveals bright acidity, marzipan-like sweetness and subtle spice, leading to a firm, bone-dry finish. This vineyard’s limestone soils give the wine a taut, structured frame, making it approachable now with decanting but also excellent for medium-term cellaring.

A benchmark of the Picq house style, it pairs beautifully with oysters, delicate seafood or creamy fish dishes, highlighting the pure expression of Chablis without oak influence.
