Totally brilliant examples of Chenin Blanc from the Loire. Quite different in style, but beautiful. In particular, watch out for the wines of Thibaud Boudignon, a new star of Savennieres. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Thibaud Boudignon Savennieres 2012 Loire, France<\/strong><br \/>\nHis first vintage. Lively, linear and pure  with fresh lemon and herb notes as well as bright acidity. Lively and fine with real precision: a remarkable wine. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Le Vignes Herbel La Pointe Chenin Blanc 2009 Loire, France<\/strong><br \/>\nI love this wine. It takes a moment to get past the initial oxidative notes on the nose, but if you do you are rewarded with herbs, lemons, ripe apples and citrus. Amazing acidity with lovely precision, and a sense of alive-ness on the palate. This is a remarkable, textured, mineral wine. 94\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These were two wines I enjoyed at the IPNC Grand Dinner, sandwiched between Pascaline Lepeltier and Rajat Parr.
