The Character
The Story
Soil: In a bed of pure Kimmeridgian limestone, essentially one mammoth mother rock. The layer of topsoil is so thin that there is a dead zone where nothing grows in the center of the parcels.
Vines: From 2 parcels planted in the 1970s, one with a clone and the other with a sélection massale, totaling just under 5 acres of vines. They are always first to be harvested (by hand) and last to be bottled. Lutte raisonnée farming.
About Dom Picq
Producer Story
Brothers Didier and Pascal Picq quickly established themselves as rigorous growers after taking over this 32-acre domain from their father in 1976. They prune severely in winter and de-bud twice in spring for low yields. They farm according to the pragmatic, sustainable principles of lutte raisonnée, or reasoned fight, and all that keeps them from being considered organic is their preference for new fungicides rather than copper. They do alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in steel, and age the wine in steel. For a while, their Japanese importer demanded that they make a cuvée in barrel for him, but eventually he saw the light and gave it up. They look for elegance, depth, purity of fruit, length and minerality in their wines, while aiming for age-worthiness and moderate alcohol.
