Tasting notes
The 2019 Chablis Village, bottled at the beginning of 2021, has a very refined, quite subtle nose of shucked oyster shell and touches of apple blossom. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, the alcohol at almost 14° cunningly disguised. Attractive honeyed notes appear on the finish.

Hints of citrus oil, beeswax and oyster shell preface Picq's 2019 Chablis, a medium to full-bodied, rich and unusually concentrated wine that's deep and flavorful, concluding with a sapid finish. Followers of this domaine might want to think of it as a somewhat livelier version of the 2015.
The 2019 Chablis Village was tasted both separately and as a blend so that Didier Picq could show the different terroirs: limestone, clay and a third from younger vines on clay-limestone soils (12 different parcels dispersed over 8ha.) There is superb intensity on the nose, featuring red and green apples, pear and a strong oyster shell/marine scent. The palate is nicely poised and full of tension emanating from the limestone terroirs that also lend this Village Cru its persistence on the finish. Classic Chablis from start to finish.
