Gilbert Picq Dessus La Carriére Chablis is a premium white wine produced by Gilbert Picq, a renowned winemaker from the Chablis appellation in Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards of Dessus La Carriére, which are known for their unique soil composition and ideal microclimate. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging on lees to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a classic Chablis with a bright, golden color, aromas of citrus and white flowers, and a crisp, mineral-driven palate with a long, refreshing finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, shellfish, and other light dishes.
