The Domaine du Bois d'Yver Estate
Georges Pico established the Domaine back in 1980. They are located in the village of Courgis, 3 kilometres South-West of Chablis. Georges started with 4 hectares and worked at that time with his father-in-law. At one point, the Estate was spreading over 24 hectares.
Today, he works with his son Thomas, who is now in charge of the vinification.
The Domaine du Bois d'Yver Vineyard
Every year for the last few years, Georges has been giving his son Thomas, a few parcels. While Thomas has decided to vinify and bottle his wine separately (under the label "Pattes Loup"), he decided to produce more modern, international style wines, with heavy presence of oak and the use of barrel fermentation and barrel ageing.
In a completely opposite style, the wines at the Domaine du Bois d'Yver are not aged in Oak and don't go through a barrel in the vinification or ageing process.
Today, Thomas has 8 hectares for his own brand and Georges kept 16 hectares for the production of the Domaine du Bois d'Yver.
Georges also produces a Chablis Premier Cru "Montmains" that we will problably get in the future but that was already completely sold out when we visited the Estate in January 2013.

Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port.
Impressive purple-black core with a narrow purple rim. An intense burst of powerful woodland fruit, a dense coulis blackberry and blackcurrant, almost overwhelms the nose. The black fruit aromas are infused with discreet notes of cherry and mocha. As would be expected of Taylor’s, the fruit is very fine and focused, but the year seems to have given it an additional layer of density and weight. A familiar veil of violet scent hangs over the wine, together with a fragrance of rose petal and wild, minty herbal aromas.
On the palate, the wine has beautifully ripe tannins, which integrate perfectly into the mid-palate, providing both structure and volume, and then break out on the finish with a firm wiry, grip. The palate closes with a powerful tide of fresh, complex fruit flowing endlessly through the finish. In the 2018, the Taylor traits of fine fruit and inner power combine seamlessly with the ripeness and depth typical of the vintage.
Review:
This is an exceptional vintage, most unusually the third declared in a row from this producer. Intensely perfumed and richly structured with dark black fruits and concentrated tannins, it is set for seriously long-term aging. The power of the wine, based around the producer's Quinta da Vargellas, is magnificent. Drink this major Port from 2029.

A typical Sancerre with citrus, honey, and flint notes, supple and fragrant. The palate is fresh, with grapefruit and lemon flavors and a pleasant minerality throughout.
Thomas Sancerre Blanc Terre Blanche was fermented in part Oak foudre (Cuve tronconique) and part 400-liter oak barrels for 18 Months.
Pair with grilled fish with lemon sauce, caesar salad with chicken as well during the spring or summer time.
