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.
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.

We are delighted to offer our first Beckstoffer Georges III bottling in many years. The spectacular vineyard site with its back to the Silverado Trail is the historic site of the grand old BV masterpieces produced for most of the last century. It is as pure an expression of Napa Valley terroir as is available anywhere, from anyone. Ripe and round black fruits, spice, blueberry, and cedar, and cigar box aromas are echoed on the palate and balanced by a preternatural lift from natural acidity and a swell of earth notes. A stunning achievement.
Review:
Thick in sage brush, dried herb and earth, this wine is powerfully built and unabashedly ripe. Dark black fruit, mocha and graphite notes arise along the thick, intense palate, leading to finishing touches of slate and iron. Cellaring will help to tame the tannins; enjoy from 2028–2035.

Belle Glos Eulenoch Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Ruby red with aromas of ripe cherry and juicy blackberry with hints of cocoa. Rich and opulent offering flavors of bakers chocolate, blackberry, and sweet pipe tobacco. Well rounded with supple, refined tannins and a mouthwatering, long finish.
Review:
Brimming with boysenberry, lavender, and black tea, this expressive, well-structured Pinot Noir made with freerun juice aged in (60% new French oak for nine months is equal parts juicy, dense, energetic, and glossy. Sweet tobacco, vanilla wafer, and pomegranate align with supple tannins. Delicious.
