Description
Thomas Pico started Pattes Loup in 2004. In an appellation where an overuse of herbicides and pesticides is unfortunately still the norm, Pattes Loup and its fastidiously tended low-yielding vines, happily living among a wide array of wildflowers and plants, feels like a world apart.The wines undergo a long, slow ageing of between 12 to 30 months, depending on vintage and cuvée, before bottling. The later bottlings of Butteaux and Chablis Vent d’Ange spend a year in used oak fut and two years in tank. These are brilliant wines of texture, nuance, vibrancy and purity, quite unlike anything else in Chablis.
