Alexis Hudon ‘Matousé’ 2019 MAGNUM
€36.04
Vinification: 40 year-old vine Sauvignon Blanc, organic vineyards on sand and silex soils. Spontaneous fermentation without inputs in fiberglass tanks, aging on the lees for a few months and bottled delicately filtered with minimal added sulphites.
Character: Rich but refreshing Sauvignon, atypical and highly addictive. This 2019 vintage is very ripe but beautifully structured, the firm acidity carrying its big body with grace. While this is still a great example of the broad aromatic and textural range natural vinification can produce from Sauvignon Blanc (no grassy cat pee notes here), the new vintage shows much more clean and focused than the 2018. And although we really enjoyed the yeasty funk of those bottles, we can’t help but marvel at the concentration and purity of fruit on display here.

Description
Alexis Hudon
Alexis Hudon is a young Quebecois transplant and New Kid On the Block in the Loire Valley. He worked as a sommelier on the other side of the Atlantic before moving to France to do harvests and cellar work for Julien Guillot, Nicolas Reau, Cyril Zangs and most notably Domaine Jousset. He produced the first two vintages of his own wines from his mentor Bertrand Jousset’s cellar in Montlouis-sur-Loire, but has recently set up shop in Bourges. Here, in a former garage, he vinifies Gamay, Menu Pineau and Sauvignon Blanc – harvested at various farmers in the area – into humble but profound natural wines that have been flying from our shelves ever since we introduced them in Amsterdam in the summer of 2019.
