Thibaud Boudignon "Clos de la Hutte" Savennieres 2018
This epic, mammoth, mind-bending wine left us speechless!
95+
Our Score
(8/2020) This is the most powerfully concentrated Chenin Blanc we have ever tasted. Thibaud believes "Clos De La Hutte" - a storied walled vineyard with a monastic history - to be among the very best vineyard sites in all of Savennieres. Wines of such incredibly immense power are not defined by alcohol but rather by deeply layered flavor and mouth presence. Like a young Grand Cru Burgundy, this newly released white is very tight at this stage. Even with that being the case, the concentration of material is extraordinarily evident. We were knocked out by beautiful flavors of yellow and red fruit, tobacco flower, jasmine and sea spray. All of this, on top of an ethereal base of saline and chalky mineral tension. We suggest allowing at least three years in the cellar, then enjoying over the following decade or more. If you can't resist the urge to wait, allow this the entire afternoon in a decanter!

Damien Laureau "Le Bel Ouvrage" Savennieres 2015

Decanter
(4/24/2019) "Intense and focused, mainly from schistous soils, giving the wine a dart-like precision. Fermented and aged in barrel (10% new), yet there's no sense of oakiness nor creamy overtones. Yields of 28hl/ha; concentration of quince and citrus with just enough flesh to add curves. Drinking Window: 2019 - 2030"

Domaine de la Bergerie "Clos de Grand Beaupreau" Savennières 2015

Our Score
(8/2020) Delicious. This 5-year old Chenin Blanc from Yves Guegniard reveals signs of botrytis via button mushroom, baked fruits, including orange, red apple, yellow pear, yellow flowers, salted white stones, high acidity, a fleshy texture and a long, complex finish. Simply a beautiful northern French white wine experience. Wonderfully drinkable thru 2025.
