Ripe but balanced. Mineral and floral. A perfect Chablis Villages. Perhaps the best young Barat Chablis A.C. I have tasted. From the lieu-dit les Champlains. **

Chateau de Maligny 2002 Chablis “la Vigne de la Reine”

Alan Uchrinscko — Mon, 01 Nov 2004 10:25:55 +0000

Gilbert Picq 1999 Chablis “Vieille Vignes”

Alan Uchrinscko — Sat, 01 Jun 2002 12:18:54 +0000

A bit reductive and a touch on the light side. More earthy than fruity. Drink early. *

Gilbert Picq 2001 Chablis

Alan Uchrinscko — Sat, 01 Jun 2002 12:04:39 +0000

From the lieu-dit la Carrierre, sent in its entirety to a wine merchant in North Carolina. Ripe yellow fruits with a nose of clay. Medium body with good density. Not overly expressive, perhaps just tight today, but very good. **
