GilbertPicq,Chablis2021

Made from 12 different parcels, this wine is chock full of flinty seashell essence, packed with a refreshing minerality, making it a quintessential Chablis. It shows a mix of both ripe white and yellow orchard fruit, quinine and a hint of citrus zest. There is a lovely sense of tension and the medium weight flavours terminate in a bold, robust and markedly dry finale, where a bracing touch of bitter lemon slowly emerges. This is unusually powerful for its level and a wine that should drink well almost immediately.
