2015 Thomas Pico Pattes Loup Butteaux: Premier Cru Chablis
The 2015 Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux is a characterful white Burgundy from winemaker Thomas Pico. Butteaux is part of the Montmains Premier Cru and is known for producing Chardonnays with structure, minerality, and an excellent ability to continue aging in the bottle.
Thomas Pico works at Domaine Pattes Loup, paying close attention to the vineyard and terroir. This 2015 vintage has now had more than ten years to develop. The result is not a simple, young Chablis, but a mature Premier Cru in which fruit, minerality, and more complex notes of aging come together.
For Thomas Pico, Chablis is about more than just freshness. His 2015 Butteaux comes from a Premier Cru terroir that can give Chardonnay depth and structure. After years in the bottle, this is a wine to explore carefully: riper white fruit, chalky nuances, and a long finish reveal themselves step by step. Serve it with a dish of shellfish and let the wine speak for itself.
Aroma & taste
Aromas of citrus, ripe apple, and white stone fruit are complemented by chalky minerality, herbs, and subtle notes of aging. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and refined, with fresh acidity, a lovely texture, and a long, mineral finish.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve at around 10–12°C and preferably in large white wine glasses. Excellent with oysters, lobster, scallops, shellfish, refined fish dishes, poultry, and soft cheeses.
