Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2020

Country: France
Region and Appellation: Burgundy Chablis

Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2020 represents the pinnacle of modern Chablis winemaking, crafted by Thomas Pico—one of Burgundy's most exciting and visionary vignerons.

Terroir-Driven Excellence

Pattes Loup's Butteaux comes from a superb left-bank Premier Cru near Montmains, where 20-60 year-old vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils rich in Kimmeridgian marl. Certified organic and hand-harvested, the estate follows biodynamic practices under Pico's meticulous guidance. The "mise tardive" (late release) means extended aging—up to 45 months on fine lees in neutral barrels and concrete tanks—far exceeding typical Chablis aging.

Sensory Masterpiece

This spicy aromatic treasure reveals toasted almonds, citrus peel, juicy apricot, and confit lemon with honey notes. The palate delivers stunning balance between ripeness and freshness, with deep mineral character, vibrant acidity, and a long saline finish that invites continued exploration. Bursting with energy and cut despite its long élevage, it offers satiny texture, multidimensional depth, and the distinctive gun-flint minerality of great Chablis.
