Dessus la Carriere is made from two Kimmeridgian clay-limestone lieux dits (Semon and Paradis) that sit above an abandoned limestone quarry. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel.
"A standout performer, Picq’s 2023 Chablis Dessus la Carrière, sourced from two parcels planted between 1970 and 1973, unfurls in the glass with oceanic notes of oyster shell and warm stones mingled with lemon confit, peach and pear. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and concentrated yet tensile, laden with mouthwatering acidity and with a crisp core of fruit, before concluding in a long, saline finish. It merits purchase by the case." (Wine Advocate, 92+ Points)
