THIBAUD BOUDIGNON Savennières Clos De La Hutte 2020

ドメーヌの歴史

Thibaud Boudignon, one of the rising stars of the Loire Valley, has quickly gained a reputation for crafting some of the finest expressions of Chenin Blanc. Established near Angers, his small estate focuses on biodynamic principles, precise viticulture, and minimal intervention in the cellar. The “Clos de la Hutte” comes from a historic walled vineyard in Savennières, producing wines of remarkable purity, tension, and complexity.

テロワール

Clos de la Hutte is located on schist and sandstone soils with a loamy top layer, typical of the Savennières appellation. This terroir, combined with biodynamic vineyard management and low yields, brings intensity, salinity, and minerality to the Chenin Blanc grapes, resulting in a wine of both power and finesse.

テイスティングノート

Pale yellow with golden reflections. The nose is pure and intense, revealing aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, quince, and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is precise and vibrant, offering crisp acidity, textural richness, and a long, mineral-driven finish with notes of lemon peel and saline freshness.

An exceptional Chenin Blanc from Savennières, combining tension, purity, and depth — a brilliant expression of Clos de la Hutte’s unique terroir.

醸造と熟成

Hand-harvested grapes, gentle pressing, and slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aged on fine lees in a combination of barrels and demi-muids (500L) to enhance texture and complexity without overpowering the purity of the fruit.
