The 2019 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru was showing just a small reduction on the nose, though it could not disguise the scents of yellow plum and honeysuckle and touches of wet limestone. The palate is very well balanced, taut and fresh, pinned down by a fine bead of acidity and very intense on the minerally finish. This fulfills the potential I found last year out of barrel.HK$3,600.00 -

Unwinding in the glass with scents of citrus oil, oyster shell, fresh pastry and light reduction, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vosgros is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish. This is another impeccably balanced, precise wine from Didier Picq.HK$3,388.00 -

The 2021 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru is the only cuvée with a normal yield (50hl/ha) as Didier warmed the vineyard with wax candles during the frost. It has a perfumed nose with hints of pressed white flowers and a light oyster shell tincture that emerges with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, perhaps the most saline of Picq's cuvées with a long tail on the satisfying finish. Proper Chablis!HK$4,040.00 -

The 2022 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru takes a little more time to open on the nose than Picq's other cuvées but eventually reveals eucalyptus-tinged citrus fruit flanked by wet stone aromas. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, very saline but with a countervailing, almost honeyed element keeping this on its toes. This is a brilliant follow-up to the 2021.HK$4,200.00 -

The 2021 Chablis Village was picked as low as 20hl/ha in some parcels that were severely affected by frost. Nevertheless, it has a fresh and vibrant bouquet with fine mineralité and vivacity. "Classic Chablis" as Didier Picq tells me with what I am sure is a grin. The palate is fresh and taut, a fine saline undercurrent with a sharp and quite harmonious finish. You don't find Chablis-Village much better than this in 2021.HK$2,285.00 -

Outstanding Top Value An expressive, fresh and ripe nose freely offers up its aromas of mostly white orchard fruit and floral wisps that possess plenty of classic Chablis typicity. The nicely rich and attractively vibrant middleweight flavors exude a subtle salinity on the clean, dry and sneaky long finish. This is lovely for its level and worth considering.HK$2,415.00 -

At the moment, the 2022 Chablis Au Dessus des Carrières is stoic on the nose compared to Picq's other cuvées, despite both of us giving our glasses vigorous swirls. The palate is where the action is: great concentration and depth, hints of white peach and nectarine, the power loaded at its back end. Give this two or three years in bottle.HK$2,500.00 -

A standout performer, Picq’s 2023 Chablis Dessus la Carrière, sourced from two parcels planted between 1970 and 1973, unfurls in the glass with oceanic notes of oyster shell and warm stones mingled with lemon confit, peach and pear. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and concentrated yet tensile, laden with mouthwatering acidity and with a crisp core of fruit, before concluding in a long, saline finish. It merits purchase by the case.HK$1,865 - HK$2,280

The 2021 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru takes a few swirls to get going. It offers touches of yellow fruit and jasmine, with quite aromatic notes of pressed flowers and oily resinous aromas. The palate is well balanced with a slightly viscous entry, a keen line of acidity and a creamy texture, with a touch of custard creams and orange pith on the finish. Not long but it feels nicely composed. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.HK$3,190.00 -
