2023 Chablis 'En Vaudécorce', Domaine Gilbert Picq

2023 Chablis 'En Vaudécorce', Domaine Gilbert Picq

This specific bottling is from a single 1-hectare plot next to the premier cru of Vaucoupin – it can be considered a mini premier cru. In 2023, this is assertive and focused with waves of salinity running through the wine. A hint of white miso complexity on the finish with very fine white flowers and white grapefruit flavours - this is a real value pick from the range.

Tasting notes

Lemon with a touch of lime in the colour. The most elegant of the three to date on the nose. A fine limewash across the palate with the stones to follow. Still shows in an elegant fashion. There is easily enough depth of fruit here and no honeysuckle. Ripe lemon zest instead. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted Jul 2024.

The 2023 Chablis Vaudécorse is much more expressive than the Vauclaire at the moment, a mixture of white and yellow fruit with a touch of flintiness underneath. The palate is quite attacking on the entry, tensile and focused. It gradually builds toward a cohesive and satisfying finish. This has similar potential to the excellent 2022.
