Domaine Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico) Chablis Vent D'Ange, Burgundy, France 2022

Third generation vigneron, Thomas Pico, took over the work instilled by his grandfather in 2004. Pico’s grandfather planted and worked his terroir with selection massale in the hillsides near Courgis and Preys, the two highest altitude villages within Chablis, with vineyards up to 300 meters. It was in the 1970’s when Pico’s father took over the domaine, growing the business until 2004.

In 2004, Pico returned back to his home town of Courgis after completing his studies of viticulture and oenology in Beaune. Pico began  farming 8 hectares of vines immediately converting the vineyards to organic. In 2006, Pico released his first wines under the Pattes Loup label founded on the principles of organic farming, low yield harvesting, and minimal intervention. In 2009, the domaine was certified Agriculture Biologique by ECOCERT. Pico quickly gained a reputation locally and internationally as one of Chablis’ most exciting vignerons releasing wines with only one issue, there wasn’t enough.

Selection of hand-sorted fruit from Pico's vineyards, fermented in barrel and up to 40% in concrete eggs. Soft, rich and bright on the finish.
