Domaine Thibaud Boudignon — Purity in Cabernet Franc expression

Located in Saumur-Champigny, Thibaud Boudignon quickly established himself as a key young winemaker in the Loire Valley, thanks to a minimalist and respectful approach to the vineyard.

The vines grow on limestone and clay-limestone soils, farmed organically with great attention to vine health and terroir richness.

Philosophy and winemaking

The domaine favors natural fermentations with native yeasts, long but gentle macerations, and aging in vats and sometimes old barrels to preserve freshness and vibrancy.

Minimal intervention in the cellar allows the purity of fruit and terroir minerality to shine through.

Wine style

Thibaud Boudignon’s wines are fresh, precise, and aromatically intense. They show red fruit, pepper, and floral notes typical of Cabernet Franc.

Tannins are fine and silky, with a lovely tension that suits both aging and early drinking.

Signature cuvées

• Saumur-Champigny “Vieilles Vignes” – Pure, vibrant Cabernet Franc expression, balanced and refined.

• Saumur “Les Nouelles” – Unique parcel on limestone soils, more mineral and tense profile.

• Saumur Rouge – More accessible, fruity, fresh, perfect for early enjoyment.

A promising Loire talent
