For a very long time, Picq's Chablis has been the go-to wine of value hunters after the real deal.
For us, Dessus la Carrière is always the top choice. Simply put, it's everything that you could want from a villages Chablis and then some.

Dessus la Carrière comes from two lieu-dits that are above an old limestone quarry. When you taste the wine, it's difficult not to think about that.
The Dessus la Carrière exemplifies Picq's signature of combining clear mineral cut with a detailed punch and gripping presence.
This is a remarkably consistent bottle and the 2020 is a beautiful example of the wine. The wine has plenty of presence and shows a terroir imprint with plenty of snap. There's a riveting, finely etched minerality, and an impressive, lengthy finish. Seashell Chablisienne minerality is in full force, along with currents of citrus and savory notes.
I can't think of another Chablis that's this classic, this consistent, and offers as much value. Our offers for Dessus la Carrière sell out quickly. Our advice is to order soon rather than later.

Burghound: "Here too the more reserved nose makes clear that this could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its aromas of mineral reduction, green apple, white peach and iodine. The highly energetic middle weight flavors possess a certain tenderness along with plenty of minerality on the equally complex and persistent finale that is a bit more structured. Lovely juice and especially for what it is."
