Rare Magnum Opportunity: Albert Pic Chablis 1er Cru 2022 The Producer: A Legacy of Excellence Albert Pic is not just a name; it is a legend in Chablis. Founded in 1755, it is the oldest maison in the region. Under the stewardship of the Baron de Ladoucette, Albert Pic has maintained a reputation for producing wines of incredible precision, purity, and mineral depth. This 1er Cru bottling is the gold standard for what the Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis can achieve. The Vintage: 2022 The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is being hailed as a "miracle year." After several challenging seasons, 2022 delivered both quantity and, more importantly, extraordinary quality. The wines show a beautiful balance of ripe sun-kissed fruit and the razor-sharp acidity that defines a true Premier Cru Chablis. The Format: The Mighty Magnum (1.5L) For serious collectors, the Magnum is the only format that truly matters. Superior Aging: With less oxygen relative to the volume of wine, this 1er Cru will age more slowly and develop more complexity than a standard bottle. Presence: A Magnum of Albert Pic is a showstopper on any dinner table or a crown jewel in any cellar. Tasting Notes Appearance: Brilliant pale gold with emerald reflections. Nose: Intense aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and that unmistakable flinty, gunflint minerality. Palate: Remarkable tension and energy. Notes of green apple and lemon curd are underpinned by a salty, stony finish that lingers for minutes.
