Thomas Pico Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 2018

Pico's 2017 Chablis Vente d'Ange wafts from the glass with aromas of fresh apple, white flowers and marzipan, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and satiny palate that's racy but enveloping, with superb cut and definition despite its comparatively broad shoulders and textural profile. Note that, as has been the case since the 2015 vintage, there will be two bottlings of this cuvee, the later of the two labeled "mise tardive." Readers can expect the later bottling, which I'll be tasting next year, to be simultaneously more textural and tighter knit.” Certified organic.
