2017 Chablis, Vosgros, 1er Cru, Didier & Pascal Picq, Burgundy australia Ermitage Blanc

Ermitage Blanc

finishing long with a whole array of exotic spices coming through

pliant tannins matched with well-judged acidity

Fully ready but holding up nicely

The tight kernel of fruit unfurls on the back palate coupled with persistent tannins

2017 Chablis, Vosgros, 1er Cru, Didier & Pascal Picq, Burgundy australia Ermitage BlancThe Picq family is based in Chiche, 3km south of Chablis; Pascal looks after the vineyards while Didier is winemaker. This is sourced from two plots of Chardonnay aged 35 40 years the family's oldest premier cru vines. Elegance personified, with fresh, clean, creamy, nutty, lemony aromas. Layers of citrus and savoury notes are furled around a mineral core, supported by a finely sewn seam of acidity. Lovely. Julie Sheppard, Decanter (October 2020)
