Gilbert Picq

Chablis Chardonnay from Burgundy's mineral limestone heart.

Gilbert Picq produces Chardonnay from Chablis, the northernmost expression of Burgundy's limestone terroirs. The winery's portfolio centers on the mineral precision and green-apple acidity that define the region's unoaked whites. Dessus La Carrière and Chablis Vauclaire represent the upper range of the lineup, both Chardonnay-based bottlings that have drawn attention from Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. Vieilles Vignes Chablis, sourced from older vines, rounds out the core offerings. These wines embody Chablis's characteristic tension between ripeness and restraint, with the chalky soils imparting a saline edge and flint-like minerality. The house style favors clarity of fruit and structure over oak influence, allowing the terroir and vintage to speak directly.
