WineSaint
Fermented in glass globes, this experimental bottling shows piercing minerality and herbaceous intensity. Green herbs, citrus pith and crushed stones drive a taut, angular frame. The acidity cuts like a blade through saline-tinged fruit. Fascinating but feels incomplete next to Pur Sang's richer expression.

→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.
