WINE DESCRIPTION
Gilbert Picq Chablis is a high-quality white wine produced by Gilbert Picq, a renowned winemaker in the Chablis appellation of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the region's unique Kimmeridgian soil, which is rich in limestone and fossilized oyster shells. This terroir gives the wine its distinctive minerality and crisp acidity. The winemaking process involves modern techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging on lees to enhance the wine's complexity and texture. The resulting wine is a classic Chablis, with a pale gold color, aromas of citrus and green apple, and a refreshing, dry finish. Gilbert Picq Chablis is a perfect match for seafood, shellfish, and other light dishes.
