Albert Pic 1997 Grenouilles White (Chablis)
- $54
A step up from this producer’s rather pedestrian Vaillons premier cru, this bottling offers pleasant but reserved aromas of slate and stone fruits. Some appley fruit pops on first impression, but then retreats, leaving an almondy, minerally finish. A nice enough wine that provokes more praise than complaints, but it’s a bit tough to swallow at this hefty price.

Albert Pic 1997 Montmains Premier Cru White (Chablis)
- $33
From an 18th-century Chablis house now owned by Loire-based Ladoucette, this is a typically chalky, dry white highlighted by very clear but lean, lemony fruit. A little bread dough marks the nose along with notes of pineapple. A well-bred wine that’s young and tight. Steely and full of grapefruit; fresh and simple at this point in time, it may improve with age.

Albert Pic 1997 Vaillons Premier Cru White (Chablis)
- $33
All crispness and bitter almonds rolled into a coat of green-apple flavor. A slight green quality, too. Minerally and racy like Chablis should be, it is has a lean, mineral-tinged finish. Warms up after a while, but holds onto its flinty, somewhat ungenerous personality.
