- TASTING NOTE: "The 2020 Chablis Vent d'Ange has a light bouquet with lemon verbena, and citrus peel touches, just slightly smudged at first but gaining clarity with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly reduced entry, fine depth, plenty of extract, and a saline finish. Moderate length. Just a hint of blackcurrant leaf on the finish. Fine." 90 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: The grapes come from three separate parcels of low-yielding 50 plus year old vines. Each parcels is individually, naturally fermented before spending over a year in a combination of stainless and concrete, before being racked, blended and bottled without fining or filtration.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Thomas Pico established Domaine Pattes Loup (meaning Wolf Paws) in 2005 having inherited 8 hectares of vines from his family. Based in the lesser-known area of Courgis, he farms organically and biodynamically, and harvests everything by hand, favouring low yields and late picking for pronounced ripeness of fruit. Fermentation is done in either neutral wood, concrete and/or stainless dependent on the vintage and cuvée, with some wines kept for an extended period of time on the lees. Thomas' wines are some of the purest examples of Chablis and are becoming extremely hard to find.
