Unlike his Savennières, the fruit for Boudignon's 2020 Anjou Blanc is purchased. The result is a pure, clean wine with delectable purity. There are delicate flavors 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 pulls this wine through to a refined conclusion. It can be approached now for its fine fruit but will go on. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, September 2022)

No notes because its always delicious. Some RS showing through to me this vintage, alcohol certainly elevated than norm.

Beautiful stuff, nose blossoms to citrus and some tropical notes, so that this is generous while maintaining that uncompromising line of acid running though it core. So good. Will be fantastic and probably up a point (or two) in 2-4 years.

So awesome - peaches & hay & rocks - stood up to kurobota pork chops easily! I’m sure that’s what age beautifully if you have the willpower!
