Tasting notes
The 2015 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru is a pretty, open-knit wine, but it is also a touch fleeting. Light floral, savory and mineral shadings grace this understasted, classy, somewhat quirky Chablis from Thomas Pico. I would prefer to drink it within the next few years.

From bottle, the 2015 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux Mise Tardive has realized all the promise it displayed during its lengthy élevage. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, wheat toast, fresh pastry, wet stones, confit citrus and a light touch of reduction, it's full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a deep, multidimensional core, racy acids and an immensely long finish. This is a singular wine that ranks as one of Thomas Pico's finest achievements to date.
