  June 29, 2023 - This was excellent - one of the very best Chablis I've enjoyed at any classification and plainly better than most of the Louis Michel wines - my other favorite Chablis vigneron . Classic, pure tanginess, nicely articulated, well-proportioned. Last and best bottle of four purchased on release. Not in any way past its prime, but, I think, might be approaching the far side of its plateau. Two mags remain. Picq!

  November 17, 2021 - The streak continues; I've never had a Picq I didn't like.
  This is really dense for a Chablis; grand cru density. The texture is Meursault-like. If it weren't for the oyster shell minerality and acidity, "chablis" would have been a hard call. Still, a beautiful wine. Creamy mandarin and lemon, pear, long finish, good balance.

  September 11, 2021 - This wine has travelled well in the last two years. Pulling the cork releases generous Chardonnay fruit aromas, even at arm's length. Initially, it almost seems to have some baby fat still, which is odd, but it's balanced out rapidly with the firm acidity of a well-made 1er cru Chablis. With more time, the overt padding recedes, leaving a more-classic Chablis profile of good depth, intensity, and some complexity, albeit still slightly generous in its textural depth, good, swampy tang. This is eminently drinkable now, but it's firm substance makes me think it will continue to develop favorably for at least another year or two, maybe longer. I have magnums, which I can allow to rest a while longer, when I look forward to enjoying a treat together with good friends.
  
  Ah for the day when a good really good 1er Chablis could be gotten for $25.

  June 5, 2021 - 1ère soirée estivale dans la cour post déconfinement: Magnum. Encore une fois impressionnée et émue par ce vin. Il se réchauffe vite en raison du temps estival mais conserve une fraîcheur, une finesse à travers les arômes de fruits mûrs du verger. Excellent!

  March 10, 2021 - (Mag) I’ve had good luck with ‘10s recently, and this continues the streak Sweet apple, blood orange, some seashell, nice ripeness but balanced by good acidity, which leads into long minerally finish. A-/B+
