Thibaud Boudignon
à François(e)... Anjou Chenin Blanc
Round and mouthfilling. Reduced minerality but juicy fruit too.

Dec 31st, 2022The 2020 Anjou Blanc à Francois(e) has the purity of mountain air. Hailing from a single parcel named Les Gats, it is a mid-weight style that's not about aromatic appeal but texture. From a clay-based vineyard, this is one of the more weighty, rounded styles that Boudignon produces with a structured frame that clamps the mouth and acidity that pierces the wine's core like an arrow. There's no malo at this estate which somewhat explains its character. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, September 2022)
