Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico) Chablis 1er cru Beauregard 2017

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2017 Chablis Beauregard 1er Cru is a deep, viscous wine built on textural richness and volume. Dried apricot, almond, chamomile, spice, mint and lightly honeyed notes build in a dense, layered Chablis loaded with class and personality. The 2017 is silky, persistent, and exceptionally beautiful with a very saline, delicate finish. Drink: 2020-2032. (Jan 2020)"

94 points La Revue du Vin de France: "We greatly appreciate the natural expression and lemony finesse of Beauregard, with its free-flowing, flavorful texture, delivering treasures of savoriness. (2021)"

91-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Notes of oatmeal, ripe lemons, green apple, flowers and peach preface the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Beauregard, a medium to full-bodied, layered and precise wine that's beautifully lively and complete. It's very promising. (Aug 2019)"

92-93 points James Suckling: "Just racked from barrel to tank. This is right on the yellow grapefruit with flinty chalky reduction. The palate has white peaches, hazelnuts and grapefruit. Bright fleshy and good concentration of fruit and acidity here. Drink or hold. (8/31/18)"

90-93 points and 'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Pungent aromas of mineral reduction, matchstick and smoke lead to full-bodied, rich and quite serious flavors that display evident muscle on the succulent but punchy and powerful finish that is both long and beautifully complex. This will need a few years to add depth but it appears very promising. Drink: 2025+. (Oct 2019)"
