92David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Originating in early pickings of two sites that - as the wine's name suggests - are underlain by stony chalk from Chichee's quarry, the Picq 2007 Chablis Dessus de Carriere is nothing short of sensational, not to mention for a wine rated 'village quality!' Lemon, apple blossom, chalk dust, and white truffle in the nose lead to a palate strikingly and succulently possessed of the sweetness, salinity, and savor of fresh sea scallops, allied to a creamy texture and luscious pineapple and grapefruit. This reverberates in a long, contrapuntal finish as if off of the quarry's walls. It should be worth following for at least 5-6 years."
