Thomas spent most of his childhood in this small village in the Chablis area, surrounded by his father and grandfather, both winegrowers. He was soon drawn to vines and wine, and soon went on to complete a BTS in viticulture and oenology at the \u003cstrong\u003eBeaune\u003c\/strong\u003e viticultural college. Very soon, \u003cstrong\u003eorganic growing\u003c\/strong\u003e became an obvious choice: for his own health, that of his family and friends, and to respect the environment. He has been certified since 2009. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1060\" data-start=\"1023\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1060\" data-start=\"1023\"\u003eA quest for purity and excellence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Pico\u003c\/strong\u003e is gradually streamlining his winemaking processes.

They are then matured either in vats or in barrels of various sizes. Thomas is convinced that ageing time is a decisive factor in wine quality, so from the 2018 vintage he has decided to extend the ageing period for his Chablis Villages as well as his Premiers Crus. The wines will be \u003cstrong\u003eaged for a minimum of 30 months\u003c\/strong\u003e, and sometimes much longer.\u003cbr\u003eEach visit to the estate impresses us a little more than the last, because Thomas is constantly challenging himself and developing his practices.
