Thibaud Boudignon Savennieres Clos de la Hutte 2021 Magnum

‘Matured with 30% new oak, the 2021 Savennières Clos de la Hutte was made with grapes grown in clay topsoil with schists. It exhales a perfumed, precise bouquet with aromas of pineapple, lemon oil, spring flowers and spices. The full bodied, seamless and layered, crystalline and pure, concentrated and mineral palate has a delicate core of fruit and a tense, saline finish. This pristine wine represents the essence of this great terroir. Drink 2023- 2053.’ 97 points, Yohan Castaing, The Wine Advocate, January 2024.


Situated in the commune of La Possonnière, the Clos de la Hutte is an ancient religious site of 7 hectares, of which 2.6 are planted with vines. At the heart of this ancient monastery are vines produced from a massale selection of Chenin Blanc coming from the best domaines of the Loire. Five different massale selections of Chenin were planted together so as to best express the intensity and singularity of this special place. 50% vinified in oval demi muid, 25% in 320 litre cigars, and 25% in 500 litre. The ageing lasts one year in wood and a minimum of 3 months in stainless steel.
