So powerful, this wine 'needs' 22mths lees-aging according to Didier Picq.
The premier cru of Vosgros lies to the west of the village, on south west facing plot. The Vosgros vines were planted 2/3 in the 1960s and 1/3 in the 1980s and tends to produce a beautifully tensile and complex wine. This, the 'Grand Cru' of the line starts out life with a youthful austerity, but unfolds brilliantly with bottle age to deliver a complex and minerally expression of Chablis. It is the longest-lived wine in the Picq portfolio.
The 2018 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru is a very pretty and expressive wine. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper are all beautifully lifted in a gracious, airy Chablis built on aromatics, structure and understated class. Soft, silky contours avoid any sense of austerity in a very pretty Chablis that will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is one of the most elegant, nuanced wines I have ever tasted from Didier Picq.
