ALBERT PIC CHABLIS SAINT PIERRE 2022

The Chablis “Saint Pierre” by Albert Pic is a white, mineral wine with great potential produced in the Chablis area, which constitutes the northernmost part of the French region of Burgundy. In this area the continental climate combined with strong temperature variations and the peculiar characteristics of the soil, rich in marl and clayey limestone with a subsoil characterized by the presence of marine fossils dating back to over 145 million years ago, gives these wines a mineral stamp very characteristic. “Saint Pierre” is obtained from pure Chardonnay grapes coming from vineyards grown with the spurred cordon method and located on the right bank of the Serein river. The winery, founded way back in 1755, is the oldest in this region and is today owned by Baron Patrick de Ladoucette. Thanks to constant work in the vineyard and the selection of the best clones, Albert Pic has managed to maintain a strong bond with the territory, giving all its labels great typicality and expressiveness.

The “Saint Pierre” Chablis is obtained from grapes harvested exclusively by hand and carefully selected both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The bunches brought to the cellar are destemmed, crushed and gently pressed to separate the pulp from the skins. At this point, the precise desire of the winery to characterize its products by enhancing what the territory is, leads to the choice of having the alcoholic fermentation of this Chablis carried out only in neutral steel or concrete containers, as well as the subsequent refinement, so as not to lose its vibrant, almost nervous freshness.

The Chablis “Saint Pierre” by Albert Pic presents itself to the eye with a very bright straw yellow color. On the nose, aromas of fresh fruit appear, including white peach and green apple, of exotic fruit, floral and citric notes and then open up towards iodine scents and notes of brioche bread. In the mouth it is pleasant and well-structured, with a well-balanced body with the great freshness that characterizes the sip finish.
