Thibaud Boudignon, Anjou Blanc A Francoise, 2023
A son's tribute, bottled. Thibaud Boudignon names this top Anjou Blanc for his late mother Françoise and his father François, declining to release the cuvée in any vintage where he feels the wine wouldn't honor them. The fruit comes from his oldest Chenin Blanc vines (around 40 years) on shallow schist, rhyolite and sand in Anjou, and beginning with 2021 the wine gets two extra years of aging before release. The 2023 is laser-cut and weightless on its feet: chalk, white peach, salted citrus and honeysuckle, with the quiet density that marks Boudignon's Savennières at this level. One of the Loire's most personal dry whites — and one of its most quietly profound.
