Gilbert Picq et ses Fils Gilbert Picq & ses Fils Chablis En Vaudécorse 2020 750ml

The 2020 Chablis En Vaudécorse demands more coaxing on the nose compared to Picq’s other cuvées, hints of pressed white flowers only reluctantly emerging with aeration. The palate is well balanced with veins of blood orange and citrus fruit. A pleasantly tangy, almost iodine-y bitterness lends edge toward the finish, which leaves a saline aftertaste. Superb.

Aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, buttery pastry, almonds and white flowers introduce the 2020 Chablis En Vaudécorse, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and lively wine that’s fleshy and penetrating. It’s ample and generous, and it will show well young.
