Thomas Pico Domaine Pattes Loup Les Beauregards, Chablis Premier Cru, France 2022

“Les Beauregards” 2022 is a stunning, terroir-driven Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most dynamic and sought-after producers. Thomas Pico farms his vineyards organically and vinifies with a minimalist philosophy, allowing the character of each site to shine through. Sourced from the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Beauregards, the 2022 vintage offers captivating aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, pear, acacia blossom, and crushed oyster shell, layered with hints of hazelnut, flint, and subtle spice from extended lees aging. The palate is both generous and precise, combining ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a striking chalky minerality that carries through a long, saline finish. Richly textured yet impeccably balanced, this is a Chablis of remarkable depth and elegance, seamlessly marrying the concentration of the warm 2022 vintage with the freshness and precision that define Thomas Pico's wines.
