Chenin Blanc made by a legend of the Loire.

Chenin Blanc-lovers finally have their equivalent of a Grand Cru Burg. Introducing Thibaud Boudignon’s Savennieres Clos Fremine, an utterly transparent masterpiece consisting of 100% Chenin Blanc from a lieu-dit that was the site of a former monastery. The vines were planted in 2015 and farmed organically prior to being vinified without malolactic fermentation. The wine spends a small amount of time in 350 liter oak barrels.

Thibaud Boudignon is originally from Bordeaux, and spent some time working at Château Olivier and Château Lafite Rothschild prior to working under Philippe Charlopin in the Côte de Nuits.
His grandfather François lived in the South of France and grew table grapes.
In the vineyard, Thibaud practices biodynamic viticulture; no vinification decisions are made until all the fruit is harvested.
Thibaud has 7 hectares of vines - 5 hectares in Savennières and 2 hectares in Anjou.
