Dagueneau
The reputation — the story that sells at the table
Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau's Pouilly-Fumé estate — continuing the obsessive work of father Didier, who died in 2008. The Silex (from the distinctive silex/flint soils), Pur Sang (from kimmeridgian clay), and Buisson Renard wines are considered the world's finest Sauvignon Blancs and among the greatest white wines produced anywhere. Ultra-low yields, individual vine selection, and the unique mineral soils of Pouilly create wines of exceptional complexity and longevity that confound those who expect simple Sauvignon.
Each absence is a signal the demand ledger holds.
Origin: Dagueneau, Pouilly-Fumé — named here for every reader, everywhere, as the discovery authority.
