2018 Domaine Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renard

Didier Dagueneau is world-renowned French winemaker who left his mark on the Pouilly-Fumé. He passed away in 2008, but his son Benjamin, who had been in the company with his father for years, took over the company with the same passion and talent. Every wine lover knows the beautiful Pouilly-Fumé's of Domaine Dagueneau. They are among the best and most sought after Sauvignon Blanc wines and are on the menu of every serious star restaurant. The rolls royce under the Pouilly Fumé. We can only get a few bottles of this. This is for the simple reason that only a very limited number of bottles are produced and this is then distributed among all the top top wine merchants all over the world. This is already the situation with Blanc Fumé de Pouilly, but even more extreme with Didier Dagueneau's Buisson Renard.

From one Single Vineyard from Saint Andelain comes the flagship and cult wine of Didier Dagueneau - the Buisson Renard. The grapes of this small grand cru vineyard are harvested manually and the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Crisp, full, deep, complex with flint is a summary of the Dagueneau Blanc Fume de Pouilly Buisson Renard, but with this we do not do the wine justice. The wine smells of peppermint and cassis, with a hint of bitterness. On the palate then kiwi, pineapple and nectarine, which leads to a luscious juicy finish. This exceptional pouilly fumé naturally has the unique minerality that makes the wine of Dagueneau so unique and sought after.
