100% Chardonnay
 
92pts Vinous “possibly the best Chablis you’ll find.”
 
An intense example of Chablis, there’s a hearty mix of lemon verbena, orange peel and plenty of mineral flintiness with some chalk. Gorgeous to drink now, it’ll also benefit from another 10 years of ageing – and maybe more, if you can wait.
Winemaker Thomas Pico tends to his vineyards religiously and always hand-harvests and hand-sorts his grapes. The Vent d’Ange Chablis is made from 55-year-old vines, which were planted by Thomas’s grandfather on the hillsides near Courgis and Preys, the two highest altitude villages in Chablis. About half the wine is fermented in concrete and the other in stainless steel.
