Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico) Chablis Vent d'Ange 2017

93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2017 Chablis, a blend of sites all in Courgis, is sublime. Creamy, ample and layered, the 2017 is a fabulous introduction to these wines. Lemon confit, mint, apricot and sweet floral notes are all laced together in a Chablis of total nuance and class. Rich and oily on the palate with superb textural intensity, the 2017 Chablis is a real winner. Aging in steel keeps the flavors bright. What a wine. All of the wines in this range are terrific, but I would be tempted to go for the straight Chablis. Drink: 2020-2027. (Jul 2019)"

92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Pico's 2017 Chablis Vente d'Ange wafts from the glass with aromas of fresh apple, white flowers and marzipan, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and satiny palate that's racy but enveloping, with superb cut and definition despite its comparatively broad shoulders and textural profile. Note that, as has been the case since the 2015 vintage, there will be two bottlings of this cuvée, the later of the two labeled "mise tardive." Readers can expect the later bottling, which I'll be tasting next year, to be simultaneously more textural and tighter knit. Drink: 2019-2029. (Aug 2019)"

92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Cool sweetness and sparkling fruit in the Vent d'Ange Chablis, whose subtle flesh is very soothing. (2021)"

90-91 points James Suckling: "On some reduction. This has ripe peaches and nectarines on the nose with a lot of lemon citrus too. The palate has a super expressive fruit core, showing very intense nectarines and white peaches. Luscious with some underlying mineral tension. A grapefruit-pith finish. Drink on release. (7/20/18)"
