Gilbert Picq 2003 Chablis Premier Cru Vosgros

Alan Uchrinscko — Tue, 08 Feb 2005 12:22:12 +0000

Gunflinty but not showing much. Weak and somewhat dilute; unimpressive on the palate.

Gilbert Picq 2001 Chablis Premier Cru Vosgros

Alan Uchrinscko — Sun, 02 Jun 2002 11:29:52 +0000

Complex nose – expressive and balanced with good fruit (lemons and limes). Caressing palate with just a touch of astringency. Fine finish. **(*)

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 2000 Chablis Prmier Cru Vaucoupin

Alan Uchrinscko — Sat, 01 Jun 2002 12:09:17 +0000

9 ha. in three parcels. 10 year old vines. Ripe nose with hints of stones and clay. Very feminine. More showy {than Vosgros] with light- to medium-body. Delicious, but for earlier consumption. **

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. **
