The domaine was hit incredibly hard by hail in both 2016 and 2017, forcing Thomas to blend what little fruit he could salvage into Pattes Loup, save for a small amount of the 2017 harvest, which Thomas generously agreed to bottle solely for us under the Bois d’Yver label.

Chablis, Courgis

Certified Organic

From the genius who brings you Pattes Loup, Thomas Pico also farms and makes this show-stopping Chablis from his father’s historic 2.5 ha estate, which he’s quietly been reviving since 2015. Thomas is one of but a handful of producers working organically in Chablis, a region not known for sustainable production. Thomas runs Bois d'Yver as a separate estate in parallel to Pattes Loup and follows the same principles - organic farming, no synthetic inputs, native yeast ferments, and ageing that brings out the inherent complexity but altogether freshness of the fruit. Though Bois d’Yver consists of one single AOC Village bottling, Thomas feels the parcels are distinctive enough to merit standing on their own.
