2024 Thibaud Boudignon, Anjou Blanc

Thibaud Boudignon established his estate in the Loire Valley in 2009, earning a reputation for high-precision farming and low-intervention winemaking within the Anjou appellation. This wine is made from Chenin Blanc, sourced from 35-year-old vines rooted in shallow, volcanic soils of grey schist and rhyolite. In the glass, it offers a focused profile of lemon oil, juicy pear, and crushed stone, balanced by a silky yet incisive texture and vibrant acidity. The 2024 vintage provided the necessary conditions to maintain the producer's signature saline backbone and nerve. This is a bright, energetic white that is ready to enjoy now but possesses the structure to evolve gracefully over the next several years.
