Tasting notes
Despite a slightly reduced bouquet, the 2019 Savennières Clos de la Hutte is showing nicely today, with aromas of exotic fruits, citrus zest, sage, menthol and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, lively and dense, it’s charming, with a mineral, saline, penetrating finish with a lot of flinty structuring extract. While it offers plenty of charm, it also has the structure to age nicely.

The 2019 Clos de la Hutte is the site that spoke to Boudignon when he arrived in Savennières. Once the site of a monastery, it's not yet a religious experience drinking this, but it's not got far to go: there's a sense of expansion in the mouth, followed by impressive structure, showing its serious intentions and a sense that it's good enough to eat. There's an intriguing white floral note alongside pear, followed up with energetic acidity. Excellent texture and sapidity on the finish, providing length and structure. This wine has it all: delicacy and power, structure and refinement. Unfortunately, frosts in 2019 were not kind so there is very little of it to go around.
