The wines are concentrated and opulent, yet racy and intensely saline. All three 1er Crus are extremely limited. Thomas Pico has established himself as as a devoted organic grower in the inhospitable growing region of Chablis. He also has developed a reputation as a maverick of sorts (our favorite kinds of winemakers) and is known for keeping his wines on the lees for much long
