The Picq family has farmed its small collection of vines for several generations. Today, the estate is in the hands of Gilbert's two sons: Didier and Pascal. Didier uses only stainless steel and is usually one of the last to bottle his wine, utilizing extended lees contact in tank for up to 22 months! The result: amazing wines of purity and density.

Naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in stainless steel tanks protects the underlying expressions of terroir here. You won't find a single stave of wood in the entire winery - instead, the spotlight is on the serious work in the vineyards which can immediately be felt in the Picq range. The winery is a classic case of how truly amazing wines can be made from more humble vineyards when given the utmost attention and care on all levels. While a good percentage of the estate's holdings are in village-level parcels, Didier feels the wines from these vineyards in many ways serve as the calling card for the Domaine.

There are four village wines made each year: the Chablis AC, the Vieilles Vignes bottling made from the oldest parcels of vines in their village wine holdings (some more than fifty years of age), plus two single-terroir wines, Dessus La Carrière and En Vaudécorse. The latter two are easily the quality equivalents of a premier cru. Further, Picq also offers up an ace pair of fine premier crus, both located around the village of Chichée. These include a beautifully pure and complex bottling of Vaucoupin and a more powerful, but equally soil-driven premier cru of Vosgros, which is produced from the family’s oldest premier cru vines.
