Élémentaires, Landry Boudot, a demanding vision of Auvergne

Pont-du-Château, a precise wine merchant while waiting for the vineyard

With Élémentaires, Landry Boudot settled in 2023 near Clermont-Ferrand, in Pont-du-Château, with a clear project: to make wine even before having his own vines. Trained in Burgundy then having worked at Zind-Humbrecht for three years, he refined a high level of demanding standards there, particularly for white wines and the precision of winemaking. 

Due to a lack of immediate access to land — a well-known reality in Auvergne — he started as a wine merchant, but not lightly: he personally selected organic grapes, which he harvests from partner winemakers before vinifying them in his own cellar. 

Sulphur-free, juice energy and vintage interpretation

The vinifications are carried out without SO₂, with an almost obsessive precision for a first project: sorting in the vineyard, transport in crates, clean and controlled work. 

The wines are marked by an impressive straightforwardness, light, taut, very digestible profiles, often with low alcohol content, and true fruit legibility. One senses both the influence of great Alsatian wines in the construction, and a very clear desire to make vibrant, immediate but never simplistic wines.

A project still under construction, but already very strong, which should take on another dimension with the arrival of his own vines from 2025.
