Boudignon works almost exclusively with Chenin Blanc, and his wines from Savennières and Anjou are among the best in the world. This is his village-level Anjou Blanc, the gateway into his range — and even at this tier, the precision and tension that mark his top cuvées are already in full evidence. Like all of his wines, this is made in the vineyard. Thibaud has farmed organically since the beginning; he's a vigneron in the truest sense, picking on the early side (he prefers 98% ripe to 102%) to keep the wines lit from within.
