2025 Thibaud Boudignon, Rose de Loire

Thibaud Boudignon established his estate in the Loire Valley in 2009, where he utilizes organic and biodynamic farming practices to manage parcels across Anjou and Savennières. This wine is made from 25 to 40-year-old vines rooted in shallow soils of schist, rhyolite, and sand, and it is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Grolleau. In the glass, it shows bright red fruit, flower petals, and a distinctive saline mineral edge with a crisp, taut texture. The 2025 vintage provided a warm, dry growing season with cool nights, which preserved the necessary acidity and aromatic clarity in the fruit. This is a balanced, focused wine that is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a refreshing look at the region’s capability for clean, expressive production.
