Gilbert Picq Chablis 'En Vaudecorce' is sourced from a single one-hectare vineyard which is situated just beside the 1er cru Vaucoupin vineyard. It is a unique vineyard which Didier believes to be of 1er Cru quality and produces a wine that is rich and tangy with lovely saline notes on the finish. It is an expressive wine with blood orange, floral and citrus notes coming through on the finish.

Brothers Didier and Pascal Picq (sons of Gilbert) run this high quality 13-hectare estate which is based in the small village of Chichée, 3km south of the town of Chablis. They are an extremely affable pair, aided by their sister Marilyn and Pascal’s daughter, Tiphanie, who clearly love and understand the Chablis terroir as well as anyone. Their wines remain true to classic, traditional Chablis with all fermentation and ageing carried out in stainless steel tanks. Oak barrels are not used which result in typically fresh wines with the characteristic tang, mineral petrichor and oyster shell aroma of proper old school Chablis. Yeasts are all natural, sulphur is kept to a minimum and they are working towards organic certification.
