Gilbert Picq, Chablis Vaucoupin 1er Cru, 2024
Vaucoupin is one of Chablis' most underrated Premier Crus, and the Picq family — Didier in the cellar, Pascal in the vineyards — bottles a version that quietly outshines many bigger names. The vines were planted in 1990 and 2005 on the Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils that give Chablis its electrifying minerality. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in stainless steel, this wine is left to express its terroir without intervention or oak flourish. The 2024 is strict, focused, and beautifully pure — a tightly-wound Chablis with subtle saline notes of oyster and cockle shells layered over orchard fruit. It needs a bit of air or a year or two of bottle age to fully open, but the reward is a 1er Cru that drinks well above its station and pays back patience handsomely.
