Domaine Gilbert Picq & Fils is an excellent domaine in Chichée, near Chablis, Burgundy. The winemaker is Didier Picq, who cultivates 13 hectares according to the sustainable approach, but without being certified.

Domaine Gilbert Picq's, sound wines generally demonstrate very fine minerality, are full-bodied, with good acidity and show length on the palate.

The top wines of Domaine Gilbert Picq & Fils are: Chablis Vaucoupin, Chablis Premier Cru Vosgros, and Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin.

The Chablis Vaucoupin 2008 scored 94, the Chablis Premier Cru Vosgros 2017 scored 93+, and the Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin 2020 scored 92-94 by the Wine Advocate.

Robert Parker’s tasting note on the Chablis Vaucoupin 2008: “Sea breeze, musky peony perfume, pear, quince, yellow plum, nut oils, and fresh scallop in the nose of Picq’s 2008 Chablis Vaucoupin lead to a soothingly rich yet buoyant and refreshing palate exhibiting striking polish as well as unusual sweetness of pear, quince and plum fruit for a Chablis cru. It’s almost as though this had a bit of Vouvray in it”.

History

In 1980 Didier’s Picq brother - Pascal Picq, joined the family estate and took the responsibilities over the vineyards, whereas their sister Marilyn took the charge of the commercial side.
