Sort By:

Michel Picard 2006 Clos des Fiètres Pinot Noir (Corton)

Price $92

Firmly dry, layered with new wood flavors, this is a wine that is structured, dark, flavored with red plum and black berry fruits. It has some depth and intensity, but the jammy finish doesn’t suggest long aging. Enjoy over the next 3–4 years. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

points

Michel Picard 2002 Le Montrachet Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Price $325

A modern, high toast style of wine, it packs spice and creamy vanilla flavors over rich, intense, green plum and ripe, sweet apples. The wood dominates to finish, but will balance out over the next 5 years. — R.V. (9/1/2004)

points

Michel Picard 2009 Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Online Exclusive

Price $40

Big and opulent, this has ripe tropical fruits, with a soft, toasty texture and full-bodied feel. With its richness, this is developing quickly and is already ready to drink. — R.V. (11/1/2012)

points

Michel Picard 2006 Les Chaumées Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Price $64

From the Picard family-owned château of Chassagne-Montrachet, this wine has some dusty, sweet tannins that go well with the red berry and plum flavors. With the freshening acidity, this is a densely textured wine that will develop well. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

points

Michel Picard 2006 Les Chalumaux Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Price $57

Citrus and high toast aromas lead to a wine that is balanced, even if the toast element is slightly burnt. There are good fruit flavors, though, bringing sweet red apple juice and kiwi together with yellow plums. Give this wine a year. — R.V. (5/1/2009)

points

Michel Picard 2006 Clos Saint Jean Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Price $80

The wood is too much for the fruit with this wine. At this stage in its development, there is a bitter, high toast character that dominates the white fruits. Underneath all this toast, there are hints of fresh apples and cream flavors. Give it at least a year. — R.V. (5/1/2009)

points

Michel Picard 2009 Clos Paradis Premier Cru Chardonnay (Mercurey)

Online Exclusive

Price $26

Rich, ripe and round, this is full of yellow fruit, with only light acidity. It is soft and open, with a full, smooth character, showing the influence from having been wood aged. It’s worth aging for 2–3 years. — R.V. (11/1/2012)

points

Michel Picard 2003 Récolte du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet Le Charmois Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Saint-Aubin)

Price $30

Has Picard’s signature oak treatment in spades, with cedar, cinnamon and clove notes, but also strident cherry flavors that show enough promise to warrant cellaring 5–8 years. Long on the finish, which seems oaky right now, but the fruit wins out in the end. — J.C. (9/1/2006)
