Profile
クールジ村を拠点とするドメーヌ・パット・ルーは、シャブリ地区の伝統に新たな息吹を吹き込む注目の造り手である。その活動の中心はクールジ村とサントネ村にあり、計5つのプルミエ・クリュを擁する。特筆すべきはクールジ村に広がる一級畑の存在感で、3.95ヘクタールという主要な面積を占めるビュトーを筆頭に、レ・ボーガールの1.6ヘクタール、そして希少なコート・ド・ジュアンの区画を管理している。さらにショーム・ド・タルヴァ、そしてサントネ村のボーガールにも一級畑を保持しており、各テロワールの個性を緻密に表現することに注力している。グラン・クリュこそ所有していないものの、一級畑に特化したその布陣からは、特定の区画が持つポテンシャルを最大限に引き出そうとする確固たる哲学が読み取れる。

History
Domaine Pattes Loup is a Chablis estate based in Courgis, a village on the left bank of the Serein where Premier Cru parcels sit on the same Kimmeridgean limestone and clay-limestone slopes that characterise the appellation. Thomas Pico founded the domaine in the mid-2000s and farmed biodynamically from the outset — an unusual choice in a region where conventional viticulture still dominates. The name, loosely translating as "wolf's paws," became a marker for natural Chablis before that phrase acquired commercial baggage.
Winemaking Approach
The estate's five Premier Cru parcels are spread across Courgis and Santenay, with the bulk concentrated in Courgis: Butteaux (3.95 ha) and Les Beauregards (1.60 ha) are the largest holdings. Pico works without herbicides or synthetic treatments, uses native yeasts for fermentation, and avoids new oak — choices that produce wines with a raw, site-driven intensity rather than the polished textbook Chablis style. The Côte de Jouan (0.25 ha) is a smaller parcel whose steeply inclined exposure gives wine with more structure than the flatter Beauregards.

Show year-by-year notesHide
| Yr | Score | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | ★★★★★ | Drink early | A brutal year of frost, hail, flooding and mildew. The little fruit that survived shows taut, bracing character but quantities are catastrophic. |
| 2023 | ★★★★★ | Drink early | A large, ripe, juicy crop with balance but softer acidity. Drink-now appeal rather than long-aging structure. |
| 2022 | ★★★★★ | Hold | Early harvest in a warm year delivered fresh, lively, juicy Chablis with structure for medium-to-long aging. |
| 2021 | ★★★★★ | Hold | April frost cut yields by half. A return to cool-climate, high-acid classicism with taut, mineral-driven wines built to age. |
| 2020 | ★★★★★ | Hold | An outstanding harvest with mouthwatering classical balance. Concentration and freshness combine for excellent long-term aging. |
| 2019 | ★★★★★ | Hold | Drought-shortened crop yielded concentrated, bright wines with retained acidity and good medium-to-long-term aging potential. |
| 2018 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | Abundant, sunny year producing ample, ripe Chablis with exotic fruit and generous mid-palate. A more modern, fleshy style. |
| 2017 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | Frost again reduced volumes, but surviving fruit produced bright, classical, mineral-clear Chablis with poise and freshness. |
| 2016 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | Devastating spring frost cut yields by 55%. Remaining grapes produced light, fresh, classical Chablis but in very limited quantities. |
