Excellent development, delicious. Profile sitting somewhere between a tight Savennieres and rich Vouvry. Love the shape. Lovely mid-palate weight, spice. Long and fine. Older oak maturation followed by a spell in tank makes for a fresh wine with very good élévage.
Citrus, a faint line of maple, a touch of fejoa combine with a mineral feel and a layered texture to make for a complete wine.
On the 2020: ”Unlike his Savennieres, the fruit for Boudignon’s 2020 Anjou blanc is purchased. The result is a pure, clean wine with delectable purity. There are delicate flavours of just ripe pineapple, citrus, nettles and a subtle hint of vanilla. It is fermented and aged in both 500 liter barrels and oval Stockinger ‘cigars’. A line of acidity ulls this wine through to a refined conclusion. It can be approached now for its fine fruit but will go on.”
