Thibaud Boudignon, Savennieres "Clos Devant Le Jeu", 2023
Boudignon's newest single-vineyard Savennières and a glimpse of where he's headed. Clos Devant Le Jeu — "jeu" here comes from a Gaulish word for wooded hill, not games — is a two-hectare site he began planting in 2020 and completed in 2023, all via massal selection drawn from top Loire estates for genetic diversity and naturally small yields. The terroir is warm, south-facing, and dominated by grey schist with a darker, denser profile than his sandier parcels, lightly threaded with sand. The 2023 reads as a young-vines wine — energetic, mineral, transparent — but the bones of structure and grip Boudignon is chasing here are already visible. A future cellar wine in its first chapter.
