Domaine Pattes Loup

Thomas Pico founded Domaine Pattes Loup at Courgis after returning to his family’s Chablis vineyards in 2004. He took responsibility for eight hectares in 2005, began converting them to organic farming and released the first Pattes Loup wines in 2006, with certification following in 2009. The domaine is centred on the left bank of the Serein, where the grapes are harvested by hand.

In the cellar, fermentation and ageing take place in a mix of neutral wood, concrete and stainless steel. The wines often spend a long time resting on their lees, the yeast sediment left after fermentation.
