2020 Chablis, Vosgros, 1er Cru, Didier & Pascal Picq, Burgundy

Description

The nose here has an intense oyster shell note that Didier identifies as a sous-bois character akin to Girolles. There is some wonderful and lively citrus fruit on the palate, but the minerals and acidity keep plucking away. It finishes with a saline tang that grips at the sides of the tongue. Drink 2025-2038.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90-93/100
One of the pale colours still with a lemony tint, this is backward but all is there with a lovely thread through the middle and a glowing persistence to finish. More iodine coquillages than some years. Will bottle six months after Vaucoupin, as this still needs time to refine. 12.7% alcohol. Tasted: July 2021.

The 2020 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru has a tensile, steely nose, backward at first, then revealing touches of yellow flower and damp earthy scents with time. The palate is well balanced with a very saline entry, strict and linear in keeping with Picq’s style, and displays fine depth and a tang of bitter lemon and blood orange on the finish. Excellent.

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
