Raw energy and mineral precision define this taut expression. Citrus peel, green herbs and smoky oak weave through a lean, driving palate. The finish shows chalky grip and persistent salinity. Built for the cellar. This needs years to flesh out its austere frame.

Didier Dagueneau

The late Didier Dagueneau remade Pouilly-Fumé's reputation almost single-handedly, pushing Sauvignon Blanc to a seriousness few thought possible in the Loire. His estate remains one of France's most closely watched addresses for white wine.
