Anjou Blanc Sec, 2022
With an average age of 40-year-old vines, this cuvee is made up of 50/50 estate and purchased fruit. Found on the shallow grey schist and rhyolite soils on the left bank of the Loire, the 2022 brings delicate notes of lemon blossom, peach, and white nectarine. Medium body and with great persistence on the palate. A burst of crisp green apple gives a lovely freshness on the finish.
critic reviews
The 2022 Anjou Blanc is very restrained, with a delicate perfume of chamomile, spearmint and nectarine. There's a round richness to the wine's mid-palate, but it feels oh-so quiet. It's not showy but restrained, elegant and fine-boned, which is quite the feat in this dry, warm year. Despite no malolactic, the acidity is relatively low analysis-wise, but you don't feel it; it remains finely poised.
The 2022 Anjou Blanc from Thibaud Boudignon reveals a perfumed, exotic bouquet with aromas of green mango, pineapple, pear and spices intertwined with a touch of toast. More depth and fleshier than the 2021, its medium-bodied, perfectly balanced with a seamless, layered texture and a delicately bitter finish. 30,000 bottles produced.
