Thibaud Boudignon, Savennières 'La Vigne Cendrée' 2022

Place: Loire, France

Grape: Chenin Blanc

Vibe: Rare as

Teeny tiny site here, only 0.5 hectares, but mighty in terms of soil variety - purple schist, granite and clay silt, all of which lend a richness to this bottling. Ripe, focused and saline, with notes of brine and smoke plus tangerines and nectarines coming through later on. One for the long haul! ABV: 12.5%
